Romney Officials Approved Funds For Planned Parenthood

Boston Globe:

Former governor Mitt Romney's economic development agency granted initial approval to a tax-exempt bond last year for a Planned Parenthood clinic in Worcester that will provide abortions, just two months before he left office and began highlighting his antiabortion position as a presidential candidate.

Asked about the $5 million financial deal yesterday, the Romney campaign said the former governor was not aware it was under consideration when Planned Parenthood won preliminary approval in November 2006.

So?
Lying and fearmongering is the heart and soul of the GOP. If anything, this is a positive event, showing that Romney has no sense of morals or ethics, thus deserving the backing of the Christian right, as well as the warmongering members of the military-industrial complex.

Poor bastard. Romney will never get the nomination. I admit, I do find his political acrobatics entertaining though.

It sounds like the board overseeing the loan kept quiet about the planned loan to PP until Mitt left office. It isn't clear that the governor could have overruled the board if he had known about the proposed loan.

Too bad !!,they must not have had planned parenthood when Barbara Bush was PG, other wise maybe she would not have SPAWNED HER EVIL DEMON, BOY GEORGE !!!!!!!!!

THIS is how Mittler got rich, backing BOTH sides of an issue. Abstinence ONLY education which GUARANTEES MORE ABORTIONS, since it fails in 85% of Senior High School girls (who made abstinence pledges)..­.then RIGHT to the abortion clinics which they will need more clinics to bear the burden of increased demand.
Unfortunately where there is unprotected sex causing pregnancies, simultaneously occuring AIDS and STDS are spreading RAMPANTLY, and these same bible thumpers or Book of Mormon thumpers put out FAKE science concerning condom use safety.
Let these lying ghouls look those young women in the eye, and explain how their lies and fairytales is now KILLING their own daughters.
