He has always said that. And it is true- every woman should. She just should not use taxpayers money to pay for it. I have to pay for mine! Other women can pay for theirs as well. If they are too poor than they shouldn't be irresponsible and having sex or they should deal with the consequences. And same for abortions- taxpayers should never have to support the murder of an unborn child. Romney does however want to cut funding to planned parenthood who think its a good idea to use taxpayer money to fund poor womens' poor choices. His plan makes perfect sense and he absolutely did not "flip flop" or switch his views.

Make sure you understand what the ACTUAL issue has always been. Romney, as well, as a great many citizens believe the GOVERNMENT, Business, and Church should NOT be required to provide contraceptives to anyone. To have sex is an individuals private choice. Along with that choice comes the responsibility to obtain contraceptives, if that is the individuals choice. BUT why should I provide money for someones private choice?
- Anonymous9 years ago
He said what he always said. He made an important distinction that you missed - which is that it is not the responsibility of Government to provide them, nor does he believe it should be up to a bunch of bureaucrats to decide what should or should not be available in a health insurance plan.
If you look at Romney's health insurance plan and don't rely on a sound bite in a forum like the debate, you will understand that his position is that the government should support, but not control, free market availability of health insurance. The support will come from laws restricting frivolous lawsuits, tax breaks to individuals who want to purchase their own private health insurance, the ability to buy and own health insurance from any state in the union and to take it with you when you move from state to state, and to allow insurance companies to find their own market niches.
What this means to consumers is that women who are of child-bearing age who want contraceptive coverage are not restricted to the government-regulated "one size fits all" insurance policy - they can shop around and get the policy they need and want. At the same time, women who are PAST their child-bearing age, or who are not sexually active, or who have some moral or religious objection to birth control, can shop around and get the policy THEY need and want. No one tells anyone what they must have or can't have, and no one tells anyone what they must pay for for other people.
That's called choice. That's called free-market.

OBAMA HAS HAD HIS CHANCE AND NOT BROUGHT THIS COUNTRY TOGETHER
ROMNEY WAS RIGHT!!!
47 Million Americans WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA NO MATTER WHAT ROMNEY SAYS!!!
That's a fact
47% of Americans will VOTE FOR ROMNEY NO MATTER WHAT OBAMA SAYS!
That's also a fact
What Romney said is true!
For Romney to get elected, he has to reach out to the 6% of Americans,
Independent voters, like me, that will decide this election!!!
Look at what Obama has done to get votes
He never pushed the Dream Act to let illegal aliens stay in America for the first two years he had the house and senate in his pocket and could have passed it legally
So what does the dirty politician do!
Obama needs Latin votes to win
So he uses executive order temporarily stoping our law enforcement community from deporting illegal aliens
As president, Obama swore,when he took the oath of office, to uphold the laws of the USA
HE HAS BROKEN HIS WORD
BUT HE WILL GET HIS VOTES
47% of Americans pay NO FED INCOME TAX!!!!!
Obama talks about the rich paying their fair share
THE RICH 1% PAY 39% OF ALL FED INCOME TAX NOW!
THE 52% WHICH IS THE MIDDLE CLASS PAY THE REST!
47% ARE ON THE TAKE
Obama changed the requirement for welfare recipients to prove that they were looking for work
Now they just get a check
Don't have to try to get a job anymore
What that DIRTY POLITICIAN DID
WAS REMOVE EVERYONE WHO COLLECTS WELFARE FROM BEING COUNTED AS UNEMPLOYED!!!!
THAT'S WHY THE NEW 7.8% UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES DON'T ADD UP!!!
He again did it for votes
This guy is the worst kind of dirty politician there ever was
And the media is backing him
Facts are facts
Here they are
50% of black kids drop out of high school
Can't get a job because they can't read or write
The unemployment rate umong young blacks is over 50%!!!
What has the president or the democrats done for them???
75% of all black babies are born to uneducated unwed under age mothers
They and their mothers will be collecting money for housing, food, and healthcare for the rest of their lives
Is this behavior fair and acceptable to the rest of Americans who are responsible and live within their means
Why would it be fair that they are being asked to pay more tax to fund this bad behavior?
93% of all crime committed in America are committed by minorities!!!
93%!!!
They are breeding criminals!!!
We have to spend more and more money on law enforcement and jails to house them!
Now you never hear the president say that these people look like him
Only Trevon Martin
Why is that???
Everyone says that Romney needs to be more specific
But where is Obama's plan?
The fact is that Obama's plan is his budget
For three straight years, Obama has put forth a budget to the congress that received NOT ONE VOTE!
NOT ONE VOTE FROM REPUBLICANS
BUT NOT ONE VOTE FROM DEMOCRATS EITHER!!!!!
DEMOCRATS AGREE THAT THE PRESIDENTS BUDGET IS UN VOTEABLE
They blame the republicans for stalling but
THE DEMOCRATS WON'T VOTE FOR OBAMA'S PLAN
SO WHAT WILL OBAMA DO???
HE WON'T CHANGE HIS PLAN
SO WE WILL HAVE FOUR MORE YEARS OF STAGNANT GROWTH!!!!
NO JOBS
NO PLAN
NO BUDGET
JUST BORROW AND BORROW AND BORROW MORE MONEY TILL WE ARE SO BROKE WE FAIL!!!
GREAT PLAN
WAKE UP AMERICA
WHEN YOU DON'T GET THE JOB DONE
YOU GET FIRED IN THE REAL WORLD
He has disgraced the the UNITED STATES AND IT'S PRINCIPALS
HE CALLED THE DEATH OF OUR AMBASSADOR AND THREE OTHER BRAVE AMERICANS A
"BUMP IN THE ROAD"
While lying to us and apologizing to the Muslims
OBAMA IS SHAMELESS
HE IS A DISASTER
STOP DEFENDING THIS FRAUD
HE COULDN'T ANSWER ROMNEY'S CHARGES AT THE DEBATE BECAUSE THEY WERE TRUE!!!
OBAMA HAS GOT TO GO!!!
by the way, I'm a registered independent voter
