Planned Parenthood

Since January of last year, bills targeting women's health have been introduced in all 50 states. But women will remember who turned their backs on us and who voted to keep us healthy. On Election Day, women will be fighting back. Find out who's standing up for you, visit: http://www.womenarewatching.org Transcript: In 2011, times were tough. Recession. Joblessness.

"Instead of working to boost our economy, they're out there spending time trying to defund Planned Parenthood and prevent millions of women from getting basic health care that they desperately need -- pap smears and breast exams." -Barack Obama (NWLC Dinner, 11/09/11)

The U.S. Conference of Mayors, a non-partisan organization made up of representatives from about 1,200 cities across the country, voted on Saturday to pass a resolution in support of women's reproductive rights and funding for Planned Parenthood.

The resolution outlines the numerous efforts by state and federal lawmakers over the past several years to restrict women's access to abortion and family planning services, including attempts to mandate ultrasounds before abortions, defund Title X and Planned Parenthood, ban abortions after 20 weeks, jeopardize access to birth control, compel the Internal Revenue Service to audit rape survivors who have abortions and allow hospitals to refuse emergency abortion care to women. The mayors promise to fight back against these efforts in the future and speak out on behalf of their female constituents.

47 years ago the Supreme Court decided that states didn't have the right to ban birth control. But for some reason, nearly 50 years later, some politicians actually think government SHOULD have a role in saying who can and can't use birth control. Mitt Romney is one of these politicians.

When it comes to women's health, Rep. Dennis Rehberg "doesn't get it." His 2012 budget eliminates funding for Title X, cuts teen pregnancy prevention programs, and reinstates failed abstinence only funding. He's simply wrong for Montana women. Tell him you're watching! www.womenarewatching.org

The stakes couldn't be higher for women's health in this election cycle -- and the contrast between President Obama and Mitt Romney couldn't be starker. President Obama understands the health and economic challenges women face -- and has fought to address them.

When women hear about Mitt Romney's plans for women's health -- in his own words -- they are appalled. Mitt Romney is out of touch and harmful for women's health in America. Planned Parenthood Action Fund will be making sure voters know exactly where Mitt Romney stands and will be mobilizing our more than 6 million strong network to fight for women's health come November.

At our Rally to Protect Women's Health at the Supreme Court, Chris Turner from Florida shares her story about why the Affordable Care Act is so important.

Mitt Romney in February:

"I'm not sure which is worse; him listening to Reverend Wright or him saying that we must be a less Christian nation"

Does he stand by his comment?

"I'm actually going to --I haven't, I'm not familiar precisely with exactly what I said, but I stand by what I said, whatever it was."

What else does he stand by?
