=Political Position on Abortion= Romney stated: "I am pro-life. I believe that abortion is the wrong choice except in cases of incest, rape, and to save the life of the mother. I wish the people of America agreed, and that the laws of our nation could reflect that view. But while the nation remains so divided over abortion, I believe that the states, through the democratic process, should determine their own abortion laws and not have them dictated by judicial mandate."

=**Brief Biography-**= Brief Biography- He was born in Detroit, Michigan. His mother, Lenore, was going to become an actor but didn’t to be a mother to Mitt. His father had apprenticed in a company, American Motors. His father then was part of the “governorship of Michigan.” “Mitt married his wife, Ann, in 1969. They first met in elementary school when he was a Cub Scout; he remembers tossing pebbles at her when she rode by on a horse. When they met again years later at a friend’s house, he was smitten. Between them, they have five sons and sixteen grandchildren, who are the center of their lives.” (both quotes from [|__http://www.mittromneu.com/learn/mitt__] He has 5 sons and sixteen grandchildren. The family is just like any other family that would face difficulties in families. Ann had both multiple sclerosis and recently had breast cancer. When he was elected governor in 2002, he helped reconstruct the balance of Massachusetts. He helped with the budget that was out of whack, and the spending was just as bad; because of those, the taxpayers were paying more and more for taxes. He helped with all of the problems that were going on. Massachusetts is now a well constructed state.  -Kyleigh K.
