I don't fault a person for changing their position on a given subject, even one as important as a woman's choice regarding abortion. In the case of our lawmakers, I'd like them to explain the reasoning behind their decision. That's true whether they've changed their position or not.

The reason they changed their minds matters to me. If it's for what I feel is a good reason, I can respect that. They've had a serious change of heart, they got religion, those kinds of reasons might not be my reasons but I can respect them. If the reason is to curry favor with a given part of the electorate, I can't respect that reason. For someone like Romney, who ostensibly would be representing all citizens, I don't think this kind of reason is worthy of my respect. And that looks like the basis for his change, I've certainly heard nothing to the contrary.
