Blouin re-re-clarifies his position....kind of

<snip>

Blouin also clarified his stance on abortion Wednesday with his strongest public statement to date. He pledged to uphold Iowa law, even if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe vs. Wade, the landmark decision that established legal abortions nationally.

"I would not change existing law. I will live with existing law," he said. "And I'm not comfortable with this statement, but it's where I'm at."

Blouin's opposition to abortion has put him at odds with his opponents and a vocal segment of primary-voting Democrats.

Blouin said the position is not flip-flopping because it seeks the same goal as abortion foes: Fewer abortions. Blouin said, if elected, he would try to reach that goal through the promotion of alternatives to abortion.

"I'm convinced that what I've said is clearly in harmony with where my belief system is," he said.

The article begins with Blouin wishing to repeal the English Only Law his mentor put in place in 2002.

:puffpiece:
You are either pro choice or not YES OR NO!
State a position and let the voters sort it out.
Here you go Mike- repeat after me...
I am not pro choice PERIOD.

Blouin is anti-women's reproductive health care rights, he'll just allow them to make their own intelligent decisions if it means he'll get to be Governor.

Yep that's what a woman in this state needs, some old guy in a dark blue suit sitting in a mansion in Des Moines telling her that he doesn't like the idea that she can make her own health care decisions, but since it's the law he guesses he'll let her do it. Nice.

after he is governor.

He's never changed his position.
