What is the defining mistake of your life and why


Gov. Romney: My Biggest Mistake

 

ROMNEY: Probably from a political standpoint and a personal standpoint, the greatest mistake was when I first ran for office, being deeply opposed to abortion but saying, "I support the current law," which was pro-choice and effectively a pro-choice position. That was just wrong.

 

And when I became a governor and faced a life-and-death decision as a governor, I came down on the side of life. That was a mistake before that.
