Discussing reducing the debt in a St. Louis TV interview, Wednesday, Romney said, “Is the program so critical, it’s worth borrowing money from China to pay for it? And on that basis of course you get rid of Obamacare, that’s the easy one. Planned Parenthood, we’re going to get rid of that. The subsidy for Amtrak, I’d eliminate that. The National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities.”
"The more than 90-year-old organization that one in five American women has depended on for health care, and that for many women is their only option for cancer screenings, clinical breast exams, and critical preventive care. Apparently, we can't afford it. Illinois Democrats Rep. Schakowsky, who acknowledged that a president could not force Planned Parenthood to close, said Romney is an “extreme candidate” on women’s issues. Source: Chicago Sun Times
To true, rather Santorum like in comments, which are just going to piss off a lot of women.
I'm sure he means that he'll try to stop funding it through taxpayer dollars. And I'm all for that.

Right. Because it's awful that currently millions of women are getting all kinds of needed medical attention. We should definitely put a stop to that.
me too.I'm sure he means that he'll try to stop funding it through taxpayer dollars. And I'm all for that.

nah... the folks who will hold this against him are the same folks whom he can already count on not to vote for him.This will bite him in the ass.

.. this is campaign rhetoric meant to pander to a certain base demographic, nothing more, nothing less.
He should have remained silent. Are far right voters dumb enough to be pandered too when they have better options in Santorum and Gringrich? For the few he'll gain now, he'll lose more in the general.

I bet 1 in 5 women have also ordered makeup from Sephora. Should we fund that too so that women can mentally feel good about themselves?
Right. Because makeup is totally comparable to healthcare.
THis is just another reason why he wont be president and he'll lose more voters.
De-funding this wont do anything to fix our budget since they get very little from the government in retrospect and the fact that 1 in 5 women have used planned parenthood in their live times at least once makes this idea even more stupid.
on a side note Its funny that people dont like PP because they perform abortion but on the same hand they are more responsible for the prevention of abortion than any org in america also LMAO
