I was doing a little research on candidate for Colorado Governor Bill Ritter(dem.) I noticed where he wants to fund Planned Parenthood back to the levels before Governor Bill Owens had cut them. This is a quote of Ritter's website.
"....I know we also share common ground: We all would like to see fewer women facing an unintended pregnancy. To reach this common ground, we must:
- Make a stronger commitment to family planning. I will restore the funding to Planned Parenthood and other agencies that Gov. Owens cut by executive order.
- Ensure better access to health care for all women, including birth control and emergency contraception. I would have signed the bill that was passed by the legislature but vetoed by Gov. Owens that would have given pharmacists the ability to provide EC without a doctor's prescription.
- Provide responsible sex education.
- Make a stronger effort to promote adoption as an alternative to abortion"
So much for upholding Catholic Values. I thought Ritter was running as a Pro-life Catholic!
