Romney Under Attack for Refusing to Sign Abortion Pledge

Mitt Romney is seen as the Republican frontrunner for the White House in 2012. However, being king of the hill usually means someone wants to knock them off their perch. Romney’s challengers are now launching attacks for his refusal to sign the Susan B. Anthony pro-life pledge.

Candidates are routinely asked to sign pledges ranging from a promise not to raise taxes to a commitment to support green standards in building codes. But few draw the ire of pro-life voters when candidates refuse to sign pledges to restrict abortion.

The Anthony pledge asks candidates for their promise to only nominate or support judicial candidates who are pro-life, to select only pro-life cabinet members and to support legislation that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
