Cynthia's Story

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have pledged to defund Planned Parenthood, cutting off women's access to preventive care including cancer screenings and birth control; and have promised to shut down the nation's family planning program that more than five million people a year rely on for birth control, cancer screenings, and other care. They have also vowed to overturn Roe v. Wade and end safe and legal abortion, and have said they support extreme "personhood" measures that would give full constitutional rights to fertilized eggs.

TRANSCRIPT:
When Mitt Romney says "Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that," he really doesn't understand how many women depend on Planned Parenthood.

I could feel a lump in my abdomen. I was very scared. Planned Parenthood saved my life with an early diagnosis of cancer.

We're talking about real lives here. I believe Mitt Romney is out of touch. I think he just does not have any idea how many lives he's devastating.
