Obama Says His Daughters’ ‘Choices’ May Depend on Funding Planned Parenthood
(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama told campaign contributors that he favored taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood in part so his two daughters could “control their own health care choices.”
Speaking at a gathering at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Ore., the president criticized his Republican opponent Mitt Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, for wanting to eliminate federal subsidies to the nation’s largest abortion provider.
“Mr. Romney wants to get rid of funding for Planned Parenthood. I think that is a bad idea,” Obama said. “I’ve got two daughters. I want them to control their own health care choices. We’re not going backwards, we’re going forwards.”
Obama’s two daughters, Malia and Sasha are ages 14 and 11, respectively.
