President Obama slammed state abortion restrictions Friday in a speech to Planned Parenthood's national conference.
Obama criticized efforts at the state and federal levels to cut off funding for Planned Parenthood and roll back access to abortion.
When abortion-rights supporters see some of the proposed restrictions, "you want to check the calendar, you want to make sure it's still 2013," Obama said.
Obama criticized Republican governors' attempts to limit abortion access — a trend that has gathered steam over the past few years as conservatives shift from requirements like parental notification to laws that set increasingly early limits on when a woman can receive an abortion. ------ Obama has embraced Planned Parenthood throughout his presidency, and the alliance strengthened during the 2012 campaign, when Obama seized on the contraception mandate in his healthcare law to help build a significant advantage with female voters.
He praised the organization Friday, citing the efforts of both Republican governors and congressional Republicans to cut off Planned Parenthood's federal funding.
Does it not seem odd that so many women even need abortions? Obama said to check the calendar for 2013 & I say he needs to get his low information voters educated on birth control. Bring them up to date! How lazy can you be that you can't take a pill to prevent an abortion?
