Romney's Visit To The 700 Club

Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) was profiled on Pat Robertson’s show, The "700 Club," where he answered a reporter’s questions on his religion:

Asked about some religious conservatives considering Mormonism a "cult": "When people make references that I disagree with, I generally conclude they don't have all the facts. If they had all the facts, they'd feel differently."

More: "I think people, if the only thing they know about people is their faith and if their faith is not well-known, and if their faith is a little different from their own, then they're going to say 'That's a problem for me.' I'm proud of people of faith. I think Americans want people of faith to lead their country. Generally, they don't care so much about the particular brand of faith if the people they're looking at the same values of them. And people of my religion have the values of other great religions represented in this country."

He continues: "People said, 'Could a Mormon win here in a state that's what -- 50, 55% Catholic?' Well the answer is yeah. Could an actor who's been divorced win as president? Yeah. Ronald Reagan was able to do that."

On abortion: "I'm firmly pro-life."

On saying he would keep MA's abortion law intact: "I made it very clear that while in the past I said I would preserve the laws of Massachusetts as they existed that I was firmly pro-life and that I would support justices and policies that were pro-life."

More: "As governor, all the vetoes that have come to desk dealing with abortion, I have sided with the side of life" (ABC Family, 11/26).
