Mitt: Planned Parenthood? We're gonna get rid of that.
Yeah, it's jezebel, but just watch the video of his interview with a Missouri TV station.
That's a quote.
Guys, that's one of his suggestions to get rid of debt. Does he know what the president is?
If I'm president the movies will be free for everyone! Ticket prices are out of control!

I'm sure that's exactly how he intended for his comment to be interpreted. Surely no one would believe the President could single handedly shut down PP! ho ho ho, NO! He wasn't trying to imply that at all.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if a (lord help us) new potential president tried to start a crusade to accomplish just that.
PP gets ~$363MM in gov't funds (a good portion of that from Medicaid which includes a lot of state not federal money)
The federal budget is ~$3.6 trillion.
Woohooo <0.01% reduction!! JFC

Not just that, but for every state or federal dollar spent on Family Planning, there's something north of $3 in savings.
It's not just saving on hospital bills and prenatal care. When women get to choose when to have children, their financial and social social situations tend to be more stable and that leads to better outcomes.
ETA: So someone please explain how defunding PP will balance the budget?

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
I like how there were about 30 people in total at this event.

Stop messing up Mitt's campaigning to the right wingers with your fancy facts and reason.
