2007 GOP YouTube debate in St. Petersburg, Florida, Nov. 28, 2007: on Abortion

Mitt Romney: Would be delighted to sign federal ban on all abortions

A: Let me say it. I’d be delighted to sign that bill. But that’s not where we are. That’s not where America is today. Where America is, is ready to overturn Roe v. Wade and return to the states that authority. But if the Congress got there, we had that kind of consensus in that country, terrific.

Ron Paul: Get the federal government out of abortion decision

A: The first thing we have to do is get the federal government out of it. We don’t need a federal abortion police. That’s the last thing that we need. There has to be a criminal penalty for the person that’s committing that crime. And I think that is the abortionist. As for the punishment, I don’t think that should be up to the president to decide.

Rudy Giuliani: Would probably not sign federal ban on all abortions

A: I probably would not sign it. I would leave it to the states to make that decision. I think that the problem with Roe against Wade is that it took the decision away from the states.
