Come on, Mitt. Do you support Scott Walker's repeal of the Wisconsin Equal Pay Enforcement Act?

The Obama campaign is not cooperating with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's evident hope that little notice would be taken of his repeal of his state's Equal Pay Enforcement Act—or letting Mitt Romney walk away from his Walker fandom just because the Wisconsin presidential primary is over. The president's campaign provided Greg Sargent with a statement
asking where Romney stands:
“As he campaigned across Wisconsin, Mitt Romney repeatedly praised Governor Scott Walker’s leadership, calling him a ‘hero’ and ‘a man of courage’. But with his signing yesterday of a bill make it harder for women to enforce in court their right to equal pay, Walker showed how far Republicans are willing to go to undermine not only women’s health care, but also their economic security. Does Romney think women should have ability to take their bosses to court to get the same pay as their male coworkers? Or does he stand with Governor Walker against this?”
It's a question that, doubtless, Romney will try to answer both ways, given his continuing need to shore up the Republican base and his
problems with women (no matter how his campaign
tries to deny it). But tell us, Mitt. What's your first answer?
