      Well said David. So many people need to research what Obama is really doing. They see he's a nice guy, they see he's for green energy, they see all the celebrities love him! And if they love him, well, I'm going to be like a celebrity & love him too! No! Research! Look beneath the surface!! Obama is destroying this country, all to fulfil his fathers dream of breaking down colonalism. I am not from America, I married an American so now I live here, so I cannot vote, but I wish I could. I honestly thought Americans would be smarter then this! I can't believe how blind they are to what Obama is really doing!! Another thing, if Obama is elected, America won't have the best doctors anymore! And that's one thing I have loved about being in America, they take such good care of me, I am always thinking, wow they are so thorough, in England, the doctors never care about you this much. It is because it is their job & they are paid well to do a good job, the best job. But, never mind about that if Obama is elected. America is screwed. And Elizabeth Banks! Come on! You are a smart girl!! You can't see the truth?

      I believe that most people today have never read the founders vision for Planned Parenthood which based on their own statistics has been followed. I do not condone genocide. While they may provide many services to women, their funding and focus is the abortion industry. I object to them receiving Federal funds as taxpayers should not be burdened in any economy for something on which they do not have a say. Furthermore, they receive private donations and it more than covers women medical procedures other than abortion. There are private organizations that provide most of those medical treatments for free available for the poorer women in our country. Romney is not going to close them down,contrary to Obama talking points. As for X-ray or sonograms procedures, PP farms them out to other facilities that by the way do not charge for the services. Time to do the homework and not accept the talking points from politicians. The Affordable Healthcare Act already has forced people of all religious beliefs to either violate their freedom of religion or be fired from the healthcare industry-most hospitals are run by Christian or Jewish or Muslim practitioners. By the way for those earlier posts, if you haven't read the Affordable Healthcare act, don't comment. Since some of us have read it, you won't get to keep your doctor. You will not have the same coverage and the panel of 15 political appointees will ration healthcare ,and that affects the boomer generation and more. Romney will not close PP ,so study the facts and you will discover the BS that NBC(owned by the #1 DNC and Obama supporter financially),ABC, CBS, and Fox TV local news. They give you the White House version of the facts. The New York Times recently admitted to such that they wanted to see any articles wording before publication.So much for freedom of the press. be careful who you vote for, the past 3.5 years have been terrible for our nation and 4 more years will be the end of this country as we have known it. Sorry, for truth. The financial crisis began in 2006 with the takeover by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. There are more than 50 bills sitting on Reids desk that the White House doesn't want to get a vote. The Senate has failed to do its job as required by the law. No budget in all this Obama term. Over $16 trillion of debt, and taxing the wealthy 100% would not ease the debt for more than one week . Pray about your vote .It is a precious privelege.

      While it's true that Planned Parenthood provides services such as physical exams and vaccines at low cost and promoting good sexual health has always been PP's primary objective. I believe PP is pro-WOMAN, not pro-sex. Empowerment, knowledge, caring - these are what Planned Parenthood truly provides. Those who don't believe women should claim control of their own bodies can stay in the Dark Ages if they wish.

      The politic and economic powers (who caused this global crisis to the world) want that the people who didn't create this global crisis
      pay the bills of the responsibles of this immoral crisis.

      I don't believe in politicians and it would better if there were more political parties.

      If people see 'Inside Job', masterful documentary (won Oscar) about the crisis they can see that Clinton and Obama have in his teams the people who caused this immoral crisis. Maybe we are governed not by politics but for the economic powers and the politics can't stay away from that economic power.

      The less bad is Obama but it's no my ideal politician.

      I recomend to all 'Inside Job' and 'Margin Call'. These movies open the eyes. The first is narrated by Matt Damon.

      Yes! Yes! Yes! By ending Planned Parenthood, we are ending basic health care needs for women! Some women can't afford cancer screenings, birth control and even prenatal care - all services that women NEED. PP does more than abortions - Romney obviously doesn't understand that. By taking away Planned Parenthood, your taking away basic health needs of women. Obama has my vote.

      Kristie, some great news for you: there's nothing about the president's health plan that stops you from using private health insurance or stops you from choosing your own doctor! In fact, it requires many more people to do the same! Unless you're poor or old, there isn't a "public" health insurance for you to choose! So, yay, now you can vote for Obama! ;)

      Christo, I said I was pro Romney, not because I agree with all of his stances, but I agree with him more than president Obama. And honestly, do you agree with everything Obama has to offer 100%? Probably not. Also, I am a woman and I'm pro-life, so ya, I agree with Romney. And what does being Mormon or owning a horse have anything to do with him as a candidate? President Obama has his own share of wealth and religion as well, but I don't look down on him for those things.

      Thank you, EB ! Well put...Yes, Kristie (see above) is pro women's rights & supports Romney, who is eager to take away a woman's right to choose. I guess a dubious millionaire Mormon with a dancing horse should really be the one to decide what a woman can or cannot do with her body...The good news is Romney eventually takes both sides of every issue. If he's not for it now, just wait.

      So, I totally agree with your comments on Planned Parenthood. I used them for a couple of years too. It would be great and dandy if President Obama were as gun-ho about women's rights as he says he is, but in the end, I am a woman and I would prefer private health insurance. I feel like I deserve the right to pick who my doctor is and when I can see him or her and through his health care plan, that will no longer be the case. Planned Parenthood serves its purpose and I'm grateful for it, but women's rights aren't just a one sided issue like President Obama makes them out to be. I am pro women's rights and a supporter of Romney and that doesn't make me ill-informed, crazy, or anti feminist.

      I am totally with you on this! If I was American I'd vote Obama because women's health is not something to ignore and Planned Parenthold is an important organisation!!!

      By the way, I love you even more than I already do for you saying you had a heavy flow. You're the best. <3
