Mitt Romney On Planned Parenthood: We Will 'Get Rid' Of It

What does it accomplish to get rid of Planned Parenthood? I am very grateful for Planned Parenthood. My mother and sister both worked for the Health Department which partnered with Planned Parenthood. I saw people using the services for more than just birth control. Why is the GOP so fixated on this issue? Because, it will justify their need to build more prisons. You force people to have a child they don't want and cannot take care of. They either end up in foster care or living in some unsafe, unproductive conditions, which means they are at a higher probability of getting in trouble with the law. Pay close attention people!!!

Mitt Romney is doubling down on his commitment to defund Planned Parenthood, telling a reporter in Missouri that he would "get rid of" the country's best-known reproductive health care provider if he were elected president.

In an outdoor interview with Ann Rubin of KSDK.com, Romney offered a few suggestions on how he would cut the deficit.

"Of course you get rid of Obamacare, that's the easy one, but there are others," he said. "Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that."

Romney has said repeatedly he wants to cut federal funding to Planned Parenthood because the organization provides abortion services.

In February, he weighed in on the Susan G. Komen controversy, saying he agreed with their now-reversed decision to cut Planned Parenthood's funding for breast-cancer screenings.
