Romney Calls For Defunding Planned Parenthood, Wife Was A Donor

In an appearance on a conservative radio show, Mitt Romney called for the federal government to defund Planned Parenthood.

Romney also agreed with the now-reversed decision by the Susan G. Komen Foundation to stop donations to the organization.

Romney said it was “wrong” for Planned Parenthood to provide abortion services for women in need. But in 1994 his wife, Ann was a donor to the organization.

Ann Romney donated $150 to the group during a period in which Romney — who now claims to be anti-abortion — held a position he once described as “effectively pro-choice.”

When it was revealed in 2007 that his wife had made the donation, Romney claimed that her donations were “for her and not for me.”
