Jane Romney, Mitt Romney’s oldest sister, told National Journal that her brother would not try to ban abortion if he becomes president. “He’s not going to be touching any of that,” she said. “It’s not his focus.”
Jane Romney said her brother’s views on abortion are “much more in the middle” and that Democrats’ message that Romney would threaten access to abortion are “conjured.”
Jane Romney, who has not been a surrogate for her brother, described herself as pro-choice:
Jane Romney said she believes “life is sacred” and suggested those seeking abortion should be required to undergo counseling. But she also said that abortion should “absolutely” be safe and legal. “Every woman needs to be left to make her own choice,” she said.
A ban on abortion is “never going to happen” under a Romney administration, Jane Romney said. “Women would take to the streets. Women fought for our choice, we’re not going to go back.”
