IF TRUTH BE TOLD.......

ACTUALLY......Mitt Romney's carousel horse has stopped on a new location this morning, 10/11/2012. He's kinda' backing up on his statement to the Des Moines Register on Tuesday.  Now he says "he remains opposed to abortion and would take action if elected president to reduce the number that are performed in this country and around the world".   Around the world?  Does his Mormon faith give him some Godly powers we're not aware of?  The Los Angeles Times reported  Romney said "the actions I'll take immediately are to remove funding for Planned Parenthood.  It will not be part of my budget".  He also said I'll reverse, by executive order, the Mexico City position of the president.  I will reinstate the Mexico City policy", which does not allow American tax dollars to fund abortions overseas. 

News Flash here!   I've just read that a  "provision known as the Helms Amendment already bans foreign aid from being spent on abortion care.  The Mexico City policy would deny funds for voluntary family planning services to any organization that uses non-U.S. money to provide, refer for, or advocate abortion."   I know you're busy Mitt, but you need to do your homework!


Romney states he is for some exceptions to a ban on all abortions, but the policies he supports preclude any such exceptions.  He once said that he would be "delighted" to sign a ban banning all abortions.  The Planned Parenthood President said today "There's no way for Romney to hide from the positions he's taken repeatedly over the years".

Mitt Romney is so wishy-washy, he can't even stand up for what he says from day to day.  How in the hell does he think there is any way that he could perform Presidential duties?  Besides being dishonest, he is deceitful, unfair, and manipulative. 

THIS IS A MAN WHO IS A MIXTURE OF INSINCERITY AND UNTRUTHS

GOP HOSTILITY AGAINST WOMEN

ACTUALLY...... Mitt Romney has made it clear by selecting Paul Ryan to be his running mate that he agrees with the GOP's extreme measures on the issues most important to women and their families.  These are only a few of the issues their ticket talks about.

1.  In 2002, Mitt Romney said he thought it was a terrific idea and would be"delighted" to sign a national ban on abortion.

2.  Romney and Ryan support radical "personhood" views that would ban abortion in all circumstances, and also outlaw common forms of birth control (the pill) and in-vitro fertilization.

3.  They both would overturn Roe vs Wade.  The vote is coming soon to include anti-choice measures in the official GOP platform.

4.  Ryan has voted to not fund Planned Parenthood and end the Title X family planning program.

5.  Mitt Romney has pledged to "get rid of" federal funding for Planned Parenthood

6.  Both men are against requiring insurers to offer no-cost birth control coverage, and they would allow a woman's boss to deny insurance coverage for anything, for any reason at all

7.  They would both repeal the Affordable Care Act and all it's benefits for women

8.  Ryan voted against the Lilly Ledbetter Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act.

I really don't know how radical Romney and Ryan can get.  They are obviously against everything that's important to a woman's health.  Surprising, isn't it?  They both have wives and Ryan has a daughter and Romney has several grand daughters. 

What kind of self centered men are these, who would deny coverage to women that possibly could save their lives.

PAUL RYAN - I AM WOMAN - HEAR ME ROAR

ACTUALLY..... This topic could really get me ranting overtime - did you know that Paul Ryan has voted 50 times against a woman's right to choose?  He is 'anti-choice' for anything that would protect women and their health.  He supported the republican's "Protect Life Act", which is nothing more than "Let Women Die".   This act would allow hospitals to refuse to provide a woman emergency abortion care, even if it was a matter of life or death, and he has no sympathy toward women who have been raped or in cases of incest.  It's interesting that I have just read that a "Romney-Ryan administration would not oppose abortion in instances of rape."(That's a bit of a 'flipper' for Mitt Romney, who has said he opposed abortion).

Ryan cosponsored a measure that would force a woman to undergo an ultrasound before she can receive abortion care, even if her doctor doesn't recommend it and even if it is against the woman's will.  He has voted countless times against Planned Parenthood.  Planned Parenthood itself isn't just about abortion.  It covers all types of cancer screening and prevention, STD testing, and councils women on contraception.   About 80% of the plans users are over age 20, and 75% have incomes below 150% of the poverty line.  It's interesting to know that federal law already forbids Planned Parenthood from using the funds it receives from the government for abortions.  Without Planned Parenthood, taxpayers will end up bearing the expense for preventable cancers and sexually transmitted diseases.

Ryan wants to criminalize some forms of birth control.  He cosponsored a bill that could ban in-vitro fertilization, with criminal charges should something happen to the resulting embryos - or as Ryan would say, the resulting people. For Ryan, if you can't have kids, don't bother trying at all.

If  Romney is trying to get the women to vote for him in November, it's surprising he picked a running mate who wants to pass a "personhood" measure. This "personhood" bill could even outlaw several of the most common forms of birth control, even the pill, and restrict fertility treatments as well as put an end to stem cell research. Ryan is known for his sponsorship of federal legislation to declare that human life begins at fertilization.  "Personhood" has failed on every state ballot.

Currently, 21 million low income women count on Medicaid for basic health care.   Ryan would use his budget to reduce access to women's health care.  He would bar Planned Parenthood from participating in federal programs like Medicaid, denying access to preventative care for millions of women.

Rayn's budget also calls for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, which requires insurance coverage for preventative services like mammograms, cancer screenings and birth control, with no copay.  The act also bans insurance companies from discriminating  between men and women and bans the practice of denying coverage for pre-existing conditions, including pregnancy.  Mitt Romney has said he is in accordance with all of these conditions.  He acquired a long track record with Ryan in Washington on these issues.  However, the margin of victory by Democrats with women voters has the potential to sink the GOP Presidential ticket and the Senate and House races as well.

"I AM STRONG,  I AM INVINCIBLE,  I AM WOMAN"...... AND I WON'T SIT STILL WHILE PAUL RYAN WAGES WAR ON WOMEN.

IF ROMNEY WERE TO BECOME PRESIDENT

ACTUALLY,  shown below are some of the changes Mitt Romney would make if he is elected president.  I feel these actions would be harmful to America. I'm asking that you please read this carefully and then form your own opinions of what you want for struggling families in America.

1.  His positions are radically anti-women.  He supports banning all abortions regardless of reason,  including   rape or incest.  He would "get rid" of federal funding for Planned Parenthood.  This organization provides services like cancer screening for millions of women that can't afford it.

2.  He would appeal Obamacare.  Insurance companies would be allowed to increase premiums, deny coverage for preexisting conditions, drop patients when they get sick, and spend more of our premium dollars on CEO profits and bonuses instead of actual health care.

3. Romney is a risk when it comes to foreign policy and national security.  He keeps shifting his positions for political reasons within the same campaign.  He has no plans to end the war in Afghanistan and has said he would leave our troops there indefinitely.  He has called our Presidents decision to bring home our troops from Iraq  "tragic".

4.  He would double down on the disastrous tax policies that go directly to the wealthy - forget the middle class.  Millionaires and billionaires would get a $250,000 tax cut, and families with kids making less than $40,000 per year would actually see their taxes go up, and guess what?  He thinks millionaires should continue to take advantages of loopholes and special deals so that they pay a lower tax rate than the middle class and - Oh yes!  he supports tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas.

5.  Medicare?  -  "get rid of it" and force seniors to purchase private insurance.  There would be a voucher for that, but you can bet it won't cover premiums when some families are on extremely limited budgets.  He also favors privatizing Social Security.


Mitt Romney has a difficult time in telling the truth, as well as sticking to statements he makes.  He said "if I'm elected President of the United States, with your help, I will tell the truth" .  Do we really want a man to run our country who needs help in telling the truth.??  I think not!!
