ROMNEY SAYS HE FAVORS ABORTION IN CASES WHERE IT MAKES PEOPLE VOTE FOR HIM

Posted by Andy Borowitz

KETTERING, Ohio (The Borowitz Report)—Hitting the campaign trail one day after the arrival of Superstorm Sandy, Republican nominee Mitt Romney tweaked his position on abortion today, saying he now supports it in cases where it makes people vote for him.

"I would make an exception for abortion in cases where the life of my campaign is at stake," he told a crowd in Kettering, Ohio.

Sandy, which slammed into the East Coast last night, was such a powerful weather system that it prevented Mr. Romney from changing his position on abortion for twenty-four hours.

"It was important for Mitt to come up with a new position on abortion today," said his campaign manager, Matt Rhoades. "It sends a message to the American people that in the aftermath of Sandy, things are getting back to normal."

Mr. Romney made no reference to his comments about eliminating FEMA, which have been declared a disaster area.
