Did Mitt Romney's wife have an abortion in 1994?

Question

I thought Mormons encouraged having large families? Maybe she became pregnant from an affair and had to abort the baby?

Answer 1

God i hope so. Lets see him try to explain that away. Isn't it odd that he was pro-choice for his entire life and then all of a sudden he became strongly pro-life? Either he was lying before or he is lying now. Either way, he is a liar.

Answer 2

I think that's a stretch, taking a donation of $150 in 1994 and trying to paint it as an abortion for a pregancy from an affair.

Speculative at best, completely unsupported by any evidence, and very much part of the politics of personal destruction.

I think it is pathetic that people stoop so low in order to attack a candidate. Romney has plenty of policy points that can be debated, plus he has a political history that can be picked apart especially to contrast with his current presidential-run policies.

But creating a nasty rumor about his wife based on a donation to Planned Parenthood? Very low, and very low-rent.

Answer 3

I don't see anything other than she made a $150 donation to Planned Parenthood.
Are you trying to start a rumor?
If so why don't you have Mitt pregnant with an alien baby from the pages of The Globe. Then he can get an abortion from Paris Hilton. Who will turn Wiccan for the occasions, mainly because she looks good in black.

You know, even when you marry it doesn't mean you think the same way about everything. Its totally possible for Mitt to think one way and his wife another. Ask Bush 41, his wife,Barbara famously admitted she did not share her husbands anti choice views after he left office.

Answer 4

A $150 donation to Planned Parenthood all of a sudden becomes an abortion? How did that happen?

Answer 5

She DONATED to Planned Parenthood. So what? A lot of people do and doesn't mean they've had an abortion. You obviously don't know the difference and need some reading classes. What she does with her money is her business.

Answer 6

You have just created a huge spin and it's backfiring. Where does it say that she had an abortion? There's a huge difference in donating to planned parenthood and getting an abortion.

Besides, this shouldn't even be a political issue. It's in the hands of the courts.

Answer 7

She donated to planned parenthood. Planned parenthood is not only about abortions. It's also about prevention. Maybe she figured donating them money might go to condoms which prevent pregnancy cutting down on unplanned pregnancy.
With planned parenthood a person can schedule an appointment to see a doctor for "protection" it takes about a week or less. To see an OB/GYN for "protection" it takes 4 plus months.
Maybe one shouldn't assume planned parenthood is just about abortions.

Answer 8

They gave to a pro-abortion group years ago, and an anti-abortion group recently.....wow, trying to cover your azz Mitt? That is pathetic...so now we have Guliani, McCain, and Romney, and none of them can decide what their stances are. I have no problem with her having an abortion, but I do have a problem with politicians who switch their stance all the time. That is why I don't like Hillary

Answer 9

Rumor Monger!! what benefit do you get from spreading such tales?

I personally don't care if she had 20 abortions but I find it highly unlikely that a mormon would do so under any circumstances.

Answer 10

She donated to PLanned Parenthood, currently the only provider of low cost healthcare to women and children, with several of their factitlites not offering abortion. This is a dumb question, a failed attempt to smear another, and none of your business, frankly.
