...Romney, meanwhile, has taken a whisk broom to his record in liberal Massachusetts, where he twice ran for statewide office as a pro-choice candidate dedicated to "full equality for America's gay and lesbian citizens." He now says he opposes Roe v. Wade and describes himself as "a champion of traditional marriage." In Massachusetts, he bucked the National Rifle Association by supporting the Brady Bill and an assault-weapons ban, boasting, "I don't line up with the NRA."

In her speech, entitled “The Federal Abortion Ban: What Will It Do to Roe?”, Smith detailed numerous court cases that addressed abortion rights. Smith said the last opportunity to overturn Roe was 15 years ago in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. The decision weakened the standard of right-to-choose, but reaffirmed many of the findings in Roe.
