On Abortion: Target of $1.4M in attack ads from Planned Parenthood

The Republican Party leadership seems to want to take away the right [to abortion] and put government in between women and their doctors.

Hundreds of thousands of women who've contacted us since Mitt Romney said he was going to get rid of Planned Parenthood--he's putting politics ahead of women's health care access.

This summer, just before Romney secured the Republican nomination for president, Planned Parenthood launched a $1.4 million attack ad campaign against Romney. A Planned Parenthood spokesperson said the ads were just a "small down payment" on what was to come. True to their word, Planned Parenthood has been aggressively campaigning on behalf of President Obama, slamming presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney at every turn.

On Abortion: Since 1960s, illegal for states to ban contraception

In the January 6, 2012, Republican primary debate, ABC's George Stephanopoulos blurted a question [that] was strange, out of left field. Since the 1960s, it has been illegal under relevant US Supreme Court rulings for a state to ban contraception. Romney himself was taken aback by the question. "George," he said, "this is an unusual topic that you're raising. Given that there's no state that wants to do so, and I don't know of any candidate that wants to do so, you're asking could it be constitutionally done?"

But Stephanopoulos didn't want an answer. He wanted to make a point. "Do you believe states have that right or not?" he reiterated.

"George," Romney answered," I don't know if the state has a right to ban contraception, no state wants to! The idea of you putting forward things that states MIGHT want to do, that no state wants to do, and then asking me whether they can do it or not is kind of a silly thing."
