Part of his speech is below:
“If I’m fortunate enough to be elected this November, putting America back on the right track and getting Americans back to work will be my priority from day one. But I will not forget that a strong country needs more than a strong economy. It needs strong families and strong values as well. President Obama once said that decisions about abortion are “above his pay grade.” I’ll never be so cavalier about life. I will be a prolife president.
I’ll reinstate the Mexico City Policy. I’ll cut off funding for the United Nations Population Fund, which supports China’s abhorrent One Child Policy. I’ll ensure that abortion advocates like Planned Parenthood get no taxpayer dollars. And I’ll reverse Obama regulations that attack our religious freedom and threaten innocent life. I’ll nominate judges who respect the Constitution, are proponents of judicial restraint and know the difference between personal opinion and the law.
If elected President I will work with you to foster respect for innocent human life with an understanding that a culture that fails to do so ultimately becomes a culture in which respect for all fellow human beings is diminished.”
While Mitt Romney was pledging to support prolife legislation, foster respect for unborn human lives and end federal taxpayer funding of America’s leading abortion provider (Planned Parenthood), President Barack Obama’s campaign began airing a commercial (watch it below) with a much different message. The commercial attacks Mitt Romney for his prolife position and praises Planned Parenthood.
The ad claims “every woman” is “troubled” by Mitt Romney’s prolife position and his belief that Roe v. Wade should be overturned. Roe v. Wade is the U.S. Supreme Court decision which legalized abortion through all of pregnancy in every state.
The commercial then goes on to praise Planned Parenthood and attack Romney’s pledge to defund America’s leading abortion provider by claiming that “for women, Planned Parenthood means life-saving cancer screenings.”
Planned Parenthood provided 329,445 abortions in 2010. That’s more than1/4 of all abortions performed in the United States in 2010.
