From Deseret News archives:
Romney's adviser sorry for abortion comment
Political adviser Michael Murphy said the quotation in the latest National Review magazine was made as he was "discussing a characterization the governor's critics use."
"I regret the quote and any confusion it might have caused," Murphy said in a statement Thursday.
The magazine quoted him as saying of Romney, "He's been a pro-life Mormon faking it as a pro-choice friendly."
A first-term Republican, Romney has said he personally opposes abortion but would do nothing to roll back abortion rights in Massachusetts as governor.
