Mitt Romney's Abortion Problem: The Multiple Choice Candidate

The following is a full clip of Mitt Romney's Debate for Massachusetts Governor in 2004. Mitt Romney says that he agrees with Massachusetts law allowing a minor to have an abortion without the permission of the parents as long as they have the permission of a judge.  He then defends this position by saying that a judge as never refused a minor's request for an abortion.  Later in the debate at one point tries to accuse Shannon O'Brian of being Pro-Life.  Now there is a twist on positions.  A Republican governor criticizing a democrat for being pro-life.

Here is a statement from Mitt Romney's 2002 campaign website:
On Abortion Rights
As Governor, Mitt Romney would protect the current pro-choice status quo in Massachusetts. No law would change. The choice to have an abortion is a deeply personal one. Women should be free to choose based on their own beliefs, not the government’s.
