Mitt Romney told radio host Howie Carr that he supports the Blunt amendment in the Senate, which would allow employers to deny health coverage that conflicted with their conscience. He said he was confused in an earlier TV interview by a host’s reference to “Blunt-Rubio” (a non-existent piece of legislation), which he said he didn’t support.
