Obama Ad Slams Romney for Pledging to Defund Planned Parenthood: ‘This Is Not the 1950’s’

Obama for America Ad Slams Mitt Romney for Vowing to Cut Taxpayer Funding for Planned Parenthood: Not the 1950s

(Photo: YouTube)

Barack Obama’s re-election campaign has released a new ad slamming Mitt Romney’s record on Planned Parenthood, featuring two women who imply the Republican presidential candidate wants to bring the country back to the 1950′s.

At a brief 32-seconds, the ad begins with Barack Obama approving the message, before one woman says: “I think Mitt Romney is really out of touch with the average woman’s health issues.”

Another adds: “This is not the 1950′s.  Contraception is so important to women…It’s about a woman being able to make decisions.”

At the same time, the screen flashes to an image of the Republican presidential candidate with the words: “Mitt Romney opposes requiring employers to cover contraception.”

Here is the entire ad:

One woman then says she doesn’t remember “anyone” as extreme as Mitt Romney.

“I think Romney would definitely drag us back,” she concludes.

Romney spokesperson Andrea Saul responded:

“One day after the unemployment rate increased and we reached 42 consecutive months with a jobless rate greater than eight percent, it is not surprising that the Obama campaign would release a false ad in an attempt to distract from the effects of the President’s failed policies.  

Dishonest political attacks will not change the fact that President Obama has not turned around the economy, and his policies have hurt women and families all over the country.  We tried it the President’s way, and middle-class workers have paid the price.  Mitt Romney has a Plan for a Stronger Middle Class that will jumpstart the economy and bring back millions of jobs.”  [Emphasis added]

WeaselZippers mocked the premise, writing: “The horror of opposing the use of taxpayer funds to kill the unborn.”

      Many people, both male and female, like to have sex. When ya think about it, every living thing on the planet Earth, every individual member of every species in trying to pass its genes onto the next generation. Once the needs for food and water are satisfied every organism on this planet is trying to procreate. It is a strong drive. And for any of you who aren’t Baptists, it fun too. And something that deepens the bond between people.

      The human species has risen above the blind evolutionary drive to make more humans. The world has changed, and having as many babies as possible is recognized by most as something that is no longer useful to the species. We don’t need unwanted pregnancies in this country or in any other. There are already plenty of people in the world, and the evolutionary drive to produce more is now counterproductive.

      We can tell people they shouldn’t have sex and hope for the best. Good luck all you who preach abstinence, but you and I both know that won’t work.

      I have an idea. Let’s make it easy to get birth control. No, don’t thank me. I’m sure other people thought of that before me.

      Git-R-Done says, ” And it‘s thanks to leftists like you that we can’t turn people away at the ER if they’re not dying.”

      Git-R-Done, actually that was Ronald Reagan, hardly a leftist. But your comment is curious. So if someone, for example, has cancer, you’d deny them treatment until they are bleeding out? Whatever. Here’s what Reagan, a more compassionate person did:

      “In 1986, Congress passed the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, which contained the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. The law requires hospitals to treat patients in need of emergency care regardless of their ability to pay, citizenship or even legal status. It applies to any hospital that takes Medicare funds, which is virtually every hospital in the country.”

      http://www.salon.com/2012/07/05/reagans_healthcare_mandate/

      I understand that’s not something that makes you happy. You say health care isn’t a right. The consequence of that is that people in this country die. That’s just the way it is huh? Americans die and we just look the other way. Too bad if Americans, our own, die. Tough. Americans don’t care if other Americans die. Sorry that you can‘t get medical care in this country if you’re poor. And you die. Sucks for you.

      @JZS…Abortion is not contraception. Planned Parenthood is not in the contraception business. It’s in the abortion business. If they were into contraception, they would balk at girls coming in for abortions repeatedly. They don’t. A 21 year old with 5 abortions under her belt (through “Planned Parenthood”), says NOTHING about contraception. How is it I, a poor, uneducated, overall wearing, inbred, bigoted, homophobic, conservative with missing teeth and one finger buried in my nose, managed to figure out contraception? Heck. I can’t even read. One of my dogs is taking dictation from me. I am so hampered by my conservative values, and yet, I managed to not have “unwanted” pregnancies. I became a Christian when I was 27, no help there. I’m curious, JZS. Do you know why you think Planned Parenthood is so great?

      I have a question for you?
      If someone doesn’t have health insurance now, which is ILLEGAL, and they paid the tax for NOT HAVING INSURANCE, what happens if they need medical attention and go to the emergency room? Will they be treated??? If they are, then what is the difference from before other than they have $750 less in their pocket? And if they do get treated, then I guess it makes sense for me to drop my coverage and just pay the $750.

      Yes aborting babies cause small cohorts (Baby bust), which when they follow large cohorts (baby boom) create Ponzi scheme effects like Social security insolvency. But a budding leftist leader like JZS has a solution, immigration both legal & illegal. Never mind that many immigrants have no intention in getting along.

      Meanwhile the U.S. population keeps on growing with or without abortion, so how does abortion limit the population? It doesn’t. The population just become more heterogeneous leading to more crime 7 Balkanization.

      This will backfire on Obama. It is a little known fact that women are more pro-life than men. Something about giving birth, changes your perspective on the issue. And men are less likely to care about planned parenthood funding as oposed to other issues. This ad was a waste of money, but what do you expect from president money waster?

    Planned Parenthood obviously is not working with more unmarried women having children or abortions more than ever in the history of America. Birth Control pills were designed to effectively protect women from unwanted pregnancy, while at the same time enjoy intercourse. Unfortunately, women are using abortion as their back up plan against unwanted pregnancy. Is that what you call progression, if you want true progression, then have yourself-sterilized permanently so you will never get pregnant and thus save the wear and tear on your body and soul.

The 50′s sucked, just look at the equal rights movements for both women AND minorities that had to happen in this country after that time. Stop beating yourselves up so much, the America you see now is far superior to the one of the 50′s whether you realize it or not.

    Is the Romney camp going to come out and call this ad false like they did the last one talking about planned parenthood?

    I’m a woman and say STOP FUNDING PLANNED PARENTHOOD!! All you gals that want to have sex, buy your own pills! I shouldn’t have to pay for you to sleep around or pay for your abortions! Cut back two Starbucks a month to pay for your own pills at Walmart. You don’t want the sacrifice? Then keep your legs closed!

      I couldn’t agree more! Thank You!

      On an aside-if women REALLY want the gov’t out of their bedrooms and out of their wombs-maybe they ought to not expect taxpayers to pay for what goes in and comes out of it.

      @BDANDSL
      I’m sensing a bit of jealousy from someone either too ugly or too old to get any.

      There will always be stupid and irresponsible people who fail to think about the consequences of their actions. Decent and intelligent people understand that being stupid and irresponsible and failing to think about the consequences of your actions is a good reason to not have baby, not a reason you should be forced to have one.

      If they defunded planned parenthood would you not agree that special funding should go to the public school systems in order to properly educate the youth on safe sex practices?

      Chet – If you don’t want to have a baby, then keep your legs closed. Decent and intelligent people support the idea that if you make a stupid choice in life that you should have to suffer the consequences for doing so. Obviously you’re not a decent nor an intelligent person to begin with.

      TRV1 – Obviously you’re never heard of this thing called being a parent. That’s the job of parents to educate their kids on sex education. Not the schools job (who’ve done a horrible job and promote kids to be promiscuous). Stop depending on the government to do everything for you in life.

      When the stupid choice people make is to have a kid that they don’t want and can’t take care of, they’re not the only ones who suffer the consequences, we all do.

      Chet – We only have to suffer thanks to you lefties who passed The Great Society bill. If they don‘t want to have kids and can’t afford to take care of them, either pay for your birth control or don’t have sex. Suck it up and get over it.

      I‘m not just talking about suffering financially because we have to take care of the kids those idiots can’t. I‘m also talking about suffering the effects of having more rotten useless people around if we don’t take care of those kids and let them grow up with nobody except their stupid parents to mold them into decent human beings.

      Your claim has been debunked with the crime rates going dramatically up in the 1960s with the introduction of the Great Society but the crime rates in this country went down with the welfare reform act of the 1990s.

      You do know that it’s the parents who end up getting the welfare checks for their children. So then if you’re so concerned about children being raised by irresponsible parents, what makes you think that they’ll grow up to be good people under a welfare state?

    Planned Parenthood is a Fortune 500 level company, a billion dollar free market enterprise SUBSIDIZED with taxpayers dollars. They don’t deserve a penny.

      This entire move by the Democrats is just their attempt to divide citizens and to target churches, especially the Catholic Church, to marginalize their power and to show that Big Brother Government is the boss. Not the the churches. Not the individual citizen. Disgusting example of government over-reach. Joe Stalin AND Adolph Hitler And Mao ,etc. all tried to eradicate the influence of churches. Big Brother does NOT welcome the interference of God because that weakens the power of Big Brother. Big Brother wants ALL of the power.

      Anyone who can’t afford an abortion sure as hell can’t afford a baby. Paying for abortions is one of the best investments we can make.

      Chet – So your mindset is just as despicable and evil as Hitler’s. Only a collectivist supports the idea of stealing taxpayer money and trying to falsely claim it as an investment.
