CHESTER, VA — Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal came to Mitt Romney’s defense today over remarks the Republican presidential nominee made Tuesday, saying he wouldn’t seek new anti-abortion legislation as president.

“There’s only one pro-life candidate running for president, and that’s Governor Romney,” Jindal told reporters.
Jindal today went on to rebuff attacks from Democrats, including an Obama campaign conference call this morning pointing to Romney’s past support for restrictions on access to abortion.
“The reality is, its no surprise that President Obama would want to talk about anything but the economy,” Jindal said.
