Wannabe-senator Mitt Romney in
1994:
I think it would be a positive thing to have women have the choice of taking the morning-after pill. I would favor having it available.
Wannabe-governor Mitt Romney in 2002:
[H]e replied yes when asked on a Planned Parenthood questionnaire, "Do you support efforts to increase access to emergency contraception?"
Gov. Mitt Romney in July 2005:
Mr. Romney said that his veto of the bill - which would allow some pharmacists to dispense the pill without a prescription and require hospitals to offer it to rape victims - was consistent with his past statements and that he continued to support contraception.
Gov. Mitt Romney in September 2005:
But Romney, who describes himself as ''pro-life," said he had to veto the [emergency contraception] bill to fulfill a campaign promise not to change the state's abortion laws. Because the Massachusetts bill does not have an age restriction and Plan B sometimes causes an abortion, Romney argued, the measure undermines the state's parental consent laws.
Gov. Mitt Romney in December 2005:
I think it's, in my personal view, it's the right thing for hospitals to provide information and access to emergency contraception to anyone who is a victim of rape.
Wannabe-president Mitt Romney in 2012:
This is a direct attack on religious liberty and will not stand in a Romney presidency.
So where does Mitt Romney stand on emergency contraception? Who the hell knows?
