Unlike Romney, Paul Ryan has always been a steadfast foe of abortion

Paul Ryan has co-sponsored federal "personhood" legislation that would declare a fertilized embryo to be a human being, which would outlaw abortion nationwide -- overriding state abortion laws -- and might also affect certain types of birth control.

That goes further than Romney, who says he wants to leave the abortion issue up to the states. Romney also would allow women to terminate pregnancies caused by rape or incest, exceptions that Ryan opposes.
