Obama Ad Says Romney Would Ban Abortion
Truncates full quote in ad running only in Virginia
President Obama has really been pushing women's issues lately, and now his campaign has a new ad out saying Republican Mitt Romney would ban abortion -- although it uses a truncated quote.
The ad replays a moment during a Republican primary debate in which moderator Anderson Cooper asks GOP candidates, "If Roe v. Wade was overturned, Congress passed a federal ban on all abortions and it came to your desk -- would you sign it? Yes or no?"
The ad quotes Romney as saying: "I'd be delighted to sign that bill."
That is not the full quote; Romney went on to say: "But that's not where we are. That's not where America is today."
