Romney: Let's get rid of Planned Parenthood!

[RI]

Sounds nice, but not very practical. Anyway, he'll probably flop back over on this in the general. He has no convictions besides getting himself elected. I doubt he really cares one lick about social issues.

The real problem is the existence of the idea that a trade-off exists between combatting breast cancer and combatting abortion. These two things have very little inherent connection. There is no rational reason that a company could not solely do one or the other. Ideally, Planned Parenthood would be completely bifurcated into two entities, one that handles health, screenings, and the like and one that handles abortion and contraception. I would have no issue funding the former to their hearts' content, but the latter should not be subsidized at all.

Abortion services are already not funded at all. When Republicans try to cut off funding, they are cutting off the cancer screening.

When it goes to a unitary entity, it doesn't matter what it's 'slated' for.

It would matter quite a bit to you if you were at risk for breast cancer.

That..doesn't have anything to do with anything unless you're implying what Ben Kenobi said.
