News Break: Mitt Romney’s son signed abortion clause in surrogate contract

Mitt Romney may be against abortion but his son seem to be quite the opposite. New documents have shown that Tagg Romney wanted to abort his twins if they had a genetic or physiological defect.

According to TMZ

The twin boys — David Mitt and William Ryder — were born on May 4, 2012. We’ve learned Tagg and his wife Jen, along with the surrogate and her husband, signed a Gestational Carrier Agreement dated July 28, 2011. Paragraph 13 of the agreement reads as follows:

“If in the opinion of the treating physician or her independent obstetrician there is potential physical harm to the surrogate, the decision to abort or not abort is to be made by the surrogate.”

“In the event the child is determined to be physiologically, genetically or chromosomally abnormal, the decision to abort or not to abort is to be made by the intended parents. In such a case the surrogate agrees to abort, or not to abort, in accordance with the intended parents’ decision.”

And there’s another relevant provision in Paragraph 13:

“Any decision to abort because of potential harm to the child, or to reduce the number of fetuses, is to be made by the intended parents.”

Mitt Romney has said in the pas that he’s in favour of aborting in cases of rape and incest but against it otherwise.
