Given that Mitt Romney's anointed Robert Bork as his constitutional advisor as well as his advisor on who to appoint to the Supreme Court, it's worth looking at what Bork has said, and still says, about issues of Women's Rights.
Because it has to say a lot about Romney, too, whether he intends it or not.

Bork certainly has made it very clear where he stands. You're right, this does say a lot about Romney. The proverbial actions speak louder than words.
In Romney's case, what it says is that he'd rather pander to the conservative far right than follow what I think are his own more moderate impulses.
The problem is, I have so little faith in what Romney believes, or whether he'll go with what he believes at any given moment, that he might as well be a far right ideologue himself.
Yes. I couldn't agree more.
His wife said a women has the right to choose and she choose to stay home and not work. Is she pro-choice now?
+Dave Hill I've watched Romney for a long time. He is a genuinely good fellow, a man of character, better than most of us poor shlobs. He actually gave all his inherited money away when he came of age, and earned the money he has now all by himself. How many people could you say that about, nevermind politicians? Hell would freeze over before I gave an entire f-ing fortune away that had been dumped in my lap. Unusual man.
Ah yes, he "earned" it. You might want to look a little more closely into how. A little hint: he didn't "earn" it by adding value.
Strange man and we want him for president, why?
+George Wiman I would respect your challenge, if haters of Romney/Conservatives vetted and graded Obama in the same way they wish us to do Romney. You are sold on a corrupt shyster, you love him the way Jimmy Fallon does. It's absurd. He is economically obtuse and some worse things than that.
It's okay to be fooled once by a street hustler, that's what they are practiced at, but when you keep coming back to the curb and defending the guy who stole your rent money, that needs a reevaluation.
