Planned Parenthood claims Romney is “out of touch and wrong for women”

Fear. It’s a great motivator. But fear coupled with deception and misstatements can be an even bigger motivator.

Planned Parenthood Action Fund has come out with an ad trying to use fear to prevent people from voting for Mitt Romney. Short statements from Romney and his staff are “interpreted” to let voters know what he really means. The problem is that this is all from Planned Parenthood’s perspective.

Part of the script for the ad states:

When Mitt Romney says, “Planned Parenthood, we are going to get rid of that. “  Romney is saying he’ll deny women the birth control and cancer screenings they depend on.”  When Romney says, “Do I believe the Supreme Court should overturn Roe v. Wade—Yes,” he’s saying that he will deny women the right to make their own medical decisions.…  Because Mitt Romney is out of touch and wrong for women.

It’s interesting that they never mention abortion specifically in this ad. Nope. It’s all about birth control, cancer screening, and women making medical decisions. The issue isn’t whether or not women should be allowed to make their own medical decisions. Women do make their own medical decisions all the time. And if Planned Parenthood were defunded and Roe v. Wade were overturned, women would still be making their own medical decisions. Choosing to let a child live shouldn’t be classified as a “medical decision” in the first place. We are dealing with people, not decisions.

According to Fox News, “[w]ith the latest ad buy, the Obama campaign can allow Planned Parenthood to wage somewhat of a proxy fight over women’s issues and abortion, allowing the president’s reelection team to focus on Romney’s resume.”

Planned Parenthood obviously wants the candidate who shows the most promise of helping Planned Parenthood’s own agenda and goals. That’s why they are dumping $1.4 million into their new video.

Is Romney out of touch and wrong for women as Planned Parenthood claims? Or is he a threat to the Planned Parenthood empire? I believe it’s the latter.

    Out of touch with woman, to Planned Parenthood,  invariably means he does not recognize them as the world-wide champions of all women, everywhere…

    I read a similar article on LifeNews. And I was so angry, let me tell you. I tweeted the article with the comment that @CecileRichards is the out of touch and extreme one!

    Heidi, well said…Planned Parenthood gets $1 million tax dollars a day, even though it is a 501c3 non-profit. Yet, it will launder $1.4 million through it’s 501c4 “arm” to try and beat Romney. As the esteemed Joe Biden said about oil, money is “fungible”. You can’t separate blood dollars from tax, political or operational money.
    In fact, Planned Parenthood Sales and Marketing is a specially politically protected $2 Quadrillion mega corporation. Some of its accomplishments include:

    One billion dead kids worldwide since PP’s “article of incorporation” RoeVWade in 1973. Due to its premiere “We are a girl’s best friend” female search and seizure sex-selected abortions, that billion translates to 650 million dead girls. With friends like PP, who needs diamonds? Hmm, that’s 650 million less DeBeers wedding rings, since a guy rarely proposes to an invisible woman long dead. Lila Rose’s LiveAction just released an undercover video with the PP apparatchik laughing about defrauding Medical and killing off a girl should the ultrasound show a femalus homo sapiens sapiens in the womb. But, so what? If you can kill ONE kid in the womb, the reason really doesn’t matter. The kid is dead, whether a Chinese girl or a Beverly Hill coed’s boy. Or the usual product of an unreported stat rapist in California, PP’s #1 customer.

    Massive social re-engineering and upheaval. China’s OneChildorElse program, perfected by PP, leads to boy/girl ratios of 118:100, as if China needs any more hegemony fuel for the return of its dynastic rule. Or in India, if a girl is first, you get subsequent ratios of 127:100 and 151:100 while the Indian family tries to procure its first male heir. Playing God, like lying, always has consequences. Sometimes worldwide. Sorry, ladies, contrary to PP’s empty promises, you are the minority choice when artificial controls are in place. Many cultures and families (including the two largest in the world) prefer boys to blondes first, even dumping you though alive like the Romans and other civilized barbarians.

    Wonder how massive is the “brain drain” of eliminating 1/8th the world’s population since PP’s 70s resurgence? This generation calls themselves the survivors, since one in three of their age group are killed before daylight. Not since WWII, has any generation saw the death of so many of its own. But, it is a real tragedy as to how much geniuses, innovators, cancer curers, leaders, etc. have been wiped out supposedly for “women’s rights”. Add this one billion dead to the 2+ quadrillion dollar economic destruction, and the cost of this politically connected “non-profit” is astronomical. It is the most successful “negative-profit” corp in all of world history.

    Breast cancer…a little KOMENclature (that org that PP bullied previously): Noted epidemiologists show a direct link between abortions, especially in adolescents, and breast cancer since the development process of breast cells are abruptly interrupted by abortion. Yet, PP touts it is a “girl’s best friend” by referring girls (something they can do themselves) for breast exams to discover cancer caused by their product line earlier in their lives. Go figure the chutzpah: womb to tomb marketing, a product for every occasion, after saluting with a choice finger an excellent cancer surviving organization like Susan Komen’s. After all, its business and PP hates their monopoly of owning women being challenged.

    So, PP’s tax-funded ad to “get rid” of Romney, because they hate the competition, has a silver lining: at least Mitt is a boy and they aren’t attacking a woman, who already have been relegated to minority status worldwide for the rest of human history with PP’s excellent sexselect Girlless Screening (not farmed out like cancer screening).    And just why do we put Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds on trial for taking steroids, while PP “legally” foists steroidal sex pills on girls, (a 14 year old is a girl) that majorly alter her body functions and systems?  Hmm

    Do you like the conclusion? A little economics.  So, PP really is a “Girl’s best friend”. Who needs diamonds, when another sharp object, a surgical curette will even the odds for you, to the tune of 650 million less female competitors for future suitors. As the noted linguist and the Gynecologist-in-chief’s second in command, Jiving Joe postulated, China needs more young social security slaves to pay their elders’ retirement…so does America, Joe. And, yes money is fungible, my Catholic VP friend. So is evil.  –Len Beckman
