I've seen the "Planned Parenthood" anti-Romney campaign ad for the last time!  I can't stand it.  The ad shows a short video clip of Romney saying: "...planned parenthood, we're going to get rid of that."  And while that quote is 100% true, it is taken a little out of context and is misleading.

Why?

Romney was answering a question about how he planned to reduce the deficit.  His whole quote is:

"The test is pretty simple. 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."  (KSDK)

That comment created quite a commotion and liberals and Planned Parenthood attacking his remarks.

Romney clarified his comment by saying, "Planned Parenthood is a private organization. What I want to get rid of is the federal funding of Planned Parenthood," (Huffington Post)

According to the Romney campaign advisor, Eric Fehrnstrom: "He singled out some areas of the budget he would eliminate or curtail, all in the name of achieving a balanced budget.  It would not be getting rid of the organization. They have other sources of funding besides government operations, but in order to achieve balance, we have to make some tough decisions about spending." (CNN)

Romney never said that he wanted to close up Planned Parenthood, in fact, I don't think he could do that  because it is a private entity.  He just said that in light of our deficit, he plans on cutting federal funding for Planned Parenthood.  

I would imagine that he would cut federal funding for this organization not only to help control the deficit, but also because Romney is against abortion.

I am too, but that's another post for another day.  However, please go to Planned Parenthood-"abortion is a safe and legal way to end pregnancy".  To make it easy on you, read the 2 sentences below.  They are the first two paragraphs on the Planned Parenthood abortion website:

"There are two kinds of abortion in the U.S. — in-clinic abortion and the abortion pill.

Abortions are very common. In fact, more than 1 out of 3 women in the U.S. have an abortion by the time they are 45 years old."

Makes me sick.  I would cut federal funding for a program that basically tells women that abortion is not really a big deal; that they "are very common."  That it's "safe and legal."

And according to the Planned Parenthood website, "vacumn aspiration is usually used up to 16 weeks after a woman’s last period"

Here is a 16 week old fetus.  Courtesy of WebMD:
