(55,675 posts)I wouldn't put "All because he dislikes abortion as much as you do" but, instead, show her he has also supported it, he keeps changing his position depending on his audience, raise the how can you trust him? aspect. Here's some info you can provide her:
"He's had a number of positions on abortion. When he was running for governor in the 1990s, he said he would protect abortion rights. But now he has the opposite view." It's from this article:

Maybe make the point that the President has put into place, support for women re their health and planning for children (pre and postnatal care, family planning, etc) economic well being (equal pay for women - the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and the health and support for their children (school lunch programs. These supports are what make for fewer abortions while Mitt Romney would cut all those programs making it harder for women to support their children which results in a higher number of abortions.
Maybe close by saying of the two candidates, President Obama will do more to lower the number of abortions than Romney will and the President, unlike Romney, hasn't taken multiple positions on these issues, he has been steadfast.
