George Stephanopoulos: So if abortion is the taking of a life, should women who have abortions and doctors who perform them be jailed?

 

    • Mitt Romney**: My view is that we should let each state have its own responsibility for guiding its laws relating to abortion.

 

My preference would be to see the Supreme Court do something which is up to them, not up to me. Even if elected president, I don't guide this. The Supreme Court does.

 

But I'd like to see the Supreme Court allow states to have greater leeway in defining their own laws.
