One of the quickest way of eliminating abortion is to defund Planned Parenthood. I believe Romney/Ryan will do this once they start taking a knife to the budget. And that’s what frightens the left. Mitt Romney was pro-abortion for 42 years, he fund raised for Planned Parenthood and supported them, 4 days ago he declared that he is still pro-abortion, and has been openly, throughout the campaign.
Did that knock your legs out from under you?
I don't understand how social conservatives can't seem to grasp the concept that the way to implement social reform is through the budget. The liberals learned this a long time ago. If you want abortion, fund abortion. If you don't want abortion, don't fund it. I can guarantee you that if they removed payments for condoms and abortions from the budget, abortions will go down. Throw in a regulation making every expected mother to go through a sonogram and abortion will drop further. That is why the left fights against these things. Will it stop abortions? No. You will NEVER stop it. But we don't have to support it with tax payer dollars and we can prevent it with regulations.
I've never been impressed with Mitt and he wasn't even my last choice of all the candidates. But here we are. Given the choice between Romney or Obama, I'll hold my nose and vote for Romney with the hope that Paul Ryan will have his ear. I think Paul understand.
