A photograph of GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney at a 1994 Planned Parenthood fund-raiser has surfaced, once again raising questions about the former Bay State’s governor’s abortion flip-flopping.

The picture, a copy of which was obtained by the Herald, shows Romney and his wife Ann at a house party fund-raiser in Scituate with Nicki Nichols Gamble, who was the president of the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts at the time. Romney has already downplayed ties to Planned Parenthood after revelations that Ann Romney donated $150 to the group.

Good grief, Romney has flip-flopped on virtually every issue. He ran as liberal, governed as a liberal and, within in six short years, now is trying to portray himself as a conservative.

Anyone buying that is fool. Flip is no different than Bill Clinton and would betray conservatives whenever necessary if he got into office because Romney cares only about what is best for him.

i have more respect for a person like Hilary because you know exacly where she stands on issues like abortion while Romney is just trying to appeal to the conservatives

At least Giuliani has the balls to stick to his convictions. You don't see him out playing someone who he isn't. He might be tougher on a certain subject, however he still believes in a women's right and not this 360 that Romney has, which is complete hogwash.

The only thing Giuliani has going for him at this point is that Huckabee and Romney are competing over the same votes and that's helping Giuliani stay ahead. The Republican field largely has it's "values voters" split among Romney, Huck and Thompson and that is really what's keeping Giuliani alive here.

Nail on the head....

I'm voting for Ron Paul, but I'd be satisfied with a Giuliani nomination.

Pardon me but I bet I can name at least one instance where many (not all) of the candidates have flip flopped on a given issue.

-Clinton flip-flopped on giving licenses to illegal immigrants, as well as torture and the Iraq War
-Obama (as much as I hate to write this) flip-flopped on dealing with Pakistan
-Giuliani on gun control and abortion
-Romney on torture and abortion
-McCain on gay marriage

All are convicted doubletalkers if you ask me.

Giuliani did not flip-flop on either. In fact, he hasn't flip-flopped on anything. He still believes in a women's right and the right for government to impose gun laws during certain times.
