Finally, a reason to like Mitt Romney for president, he'll defund Planned Parenthood

VERBATIM POST

Mitt Romney finally said something I like — as president he'll follow Chris Christie's lead and ax all public funding for Planned Parenthood.

Answering a question Tuesday about how he would cut the budget, Romney told a viewer of KSDK-TV in Kirkwood, Mo., that he would administer a test to see whether a program qualifies for federal funding.

"My test is pretty simple. Is the program so critical that it's worth borrowing money from China to pay for? And on that basis, of course you get rid of Obamacare. That's the easy one. But there are others. Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that. There's a subsidy for Amtrak. I would eliminate that. National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities. Both excellent programs but we just can't afford to borrow money to pay for those things," he said.

Music to my ears!

Predictably the Democrats went apopleptic — War On Women! — and compared his proposed reduction in federal borrowing to enacting tax cuts for millionaires. Because to the mathematically-challenged, they're exactly the same thing.

But if the Democrats really believe Planned Parenthood needs additional funding, well maybe their friends at Susan G. Komen can help. Put on a "Race For The Pill," or perhaps a Pinewood Derby featuring aborted fetuses. I'm sure there are celebrities who'd fall over themselves to be associated with something awesome like that.

Corporate sponsors too. All those companies who ditched Rush Limbaugh for instance. They're looking for new marketing opportunities, right? Have your abortion on a Sleep Train mattress! The possibilities are endless.
