Romney is on record of saying he would allow for abortions in cases of rape and incest....

Your source, Mediaite (a liberal website) stated the following: "since Romney didn't mention such exceptions when he expressed support for personhood, that must mean he supports such exceptions."
That does not sound exactly like solid evidence

The title of the thread is .... NOT Mitt Romney .....

Please read the link and pay particular attention to the words "Paul Ryan" ....

"HR 212, The Sanctity of Human Life Act, and it was co-sponsored by Rep. Paul Ryan. "

"it is a fact that Paul Ryan, a man who will be one heartbeat away from the presidency, wants to ban all abortions, most birth control, and most IVF treatments. "

Oh.... and since you used Wikipedia for Romney, here is their take on Paul Ryan ...

During Ryan's 1998 campaign for Congress, he "expressed his willingness to let states criminally prosecute women who have abortions," telling the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel at the time that he "would let states decide what criminal penalties would be attached to abortions," and while not stating that he supports jailing women who have an abortion, stated: "if it's illegal, it's illegal." He believes that a woman should not be allowed to end a pregnancy even if it resulted from rape or incest.
