Details can be found here--basically Republican candidate Mitt Romney has said in the last week or two that he's both 1] in favor of leaving the question of abortion up to the states but also
2] in favor a constitutional amendment banning it. Ooops.
Many are railing about this being a "flip-flop." I don't know that I come down there. To me, the biggest problem with this little flap for Romney is that his position seems confused. From a conservative, principled point of view he's obviously anti-abortion, and that's the important thing. But his position here became hard to grasp, and that's his main problem. Maybe that's the problem with having changed your position recently on the issue...
