Ann Romney says all parents deserve respect

ST LOUIS - April 13, 2012

The wife of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney briefly addressed the NRA convention Friday in St. Louis before her husband spoke.

A Democratic activist set off a tempest Wednesday by saying Ann Romney has "never worked a day in her life."

Ann Romney stayed home to raise the couple's five sons.

She gave a "shout-out" Friday to all working moms and dads, and said she loves them all.

Mitt Romney used the NRA gathering to make his first public comments on the issue. He said he believes all moms are working moms and called his wife a hero.
