Politics of Abortion

Do politicians change there position on abortion depending on which way the political winds blow? Steve Chapman seems to imply such in this article. It's an interesting thought. Has Mitt Romney (and Ronald Reagan and others) changed his position on abortion merely for political expediency or has he had a genuine epiphany? I think only the candidate (i.e. Romney) can truly answer that question. But to me, a candidate's position on abortion will be important as I consider whether to support him or her or not.
