Obama Ad Attacks Romney on Abortion

The Obama campaign is hitting back hard in response to a Romney ad in which the GOP candidate presents himself as more moderate on abortion rights, explaining that he thinks that abortion should be legal for pregnancies resulting from rape and incest, or if life of the mother is in jeopardy.

The Romney campaign says thats long been his position, and Republicans accuse the Obama campaign of distorting his views. In at least one earlier ad, the Obama campaign charged that Mitt Romney is opposed to all abortion.
