As Karen Handel, (who incidentally resigned from Koman today), tweeted when this whole thing began in response to the outcry, "Cry me a freaking river." When you stand for everything, you stand for nothing. That should be Romney's campaign slogan.
Here's the story in the WAPO. As Arte Johnson used to say on Laugh-In, "Verrrrrry IN-terestink!" :
When Minnesota radio host Scott Hennen asked Romney whether Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the leading U.S. anti-breast cancer charity, should continue to give Planned Parenthood grants for cancer screenings and mammogram referrals, Romney said, "I don't think so."
Wow, Romnney has the worst case of foot in mouth disease ever recorded. This guy is a complete dolt.
A huge problem Mitt will continue to have is his inability to connect with "average" folks. He's too stff. Too removed from the lives of most other people in the country. And it's in those areas that the President excells. Mitt just doesn't 'get it.'
They both are! that, and worse, though one is actually an American.
Santorum is honorable. Probably, like Palin he's too squeaky clean. He'll be put into the political meat grinder by those that want to bow at the altar of Subversion.
Intentional termination of his wife's 20 week pregnancy does not settle well with those who maintain a pro-life position.
Thank you for an eloquent first-person account of all the good work PP does, besides the crucial service of providing women with safe, legal pregnancy terminations when needed.
It may be safe and it may be legal, but it is not moral to murder babies. We really need to sing the praises of an organization that includes murdering babies in its lists of accomplishments.
I just saw the ultrasound of my grandchild. That is a life in there and it is precious and a blessing even though my son is looking for a job right now and it will be difficult to provide for it. God is not going to give my son and his wife a child and not provide for it.
Maybe, maybe not. God has given children to many and had not provided for them. Take a look at the starving babies in Africa for example.
Except that Planned Parenthood doesn't do mammograms...sheesh! I agree with his comments and they shouldn't have reversed their decision.
They refer women, and helped pay, for mammograms. Keep up with this thread.
