"There's no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda," Romney stated to the editorial board of The Des Moines Register.
Romney's statement conflicted with the Republicans that do not support abortion. Some Republicans in Congress have sought to cut federal funding for abortions. Some of the bills that were proposed were even supported by Romney's running mate, Representative Paul Ryan.
Romney spokeswoman, Andrea Saul, made a statement that contradicted Romney. "Governor Romney would of course support legislation aimed at providing greater protections for life."
Romney also said he would protect tax deductions for the middle class. In Romney's tax cut plan, he wants to lower taxes with loss in revenue due to the closure of loopholes. However, he has not specified what loopholes he plans to close. This led many to believe that he would stop popular deductions for mortgage interest and chartiable donations.
This article was not bias. It provided views of both candidates with a specific focus on Mitt Romney. Romney's statement on abortion and taxes attracted some critical attention and will be examined very closely by the public as well as many politicians.
