This administration will have no tolerance for the type of brazen disregard that Planned Parenthood has shown for both the safety of women and the rule of law.

The fact is that a bill allowing any employer to deny insurance coverage based on a moral objection - along with giving an employer permission to ask for medical records showing why a woman is taking birth control - opens up a set of problems that I'm sure its sponsors have not fully considered.

I do not support legislation that would ban birth control.

When I have people like Planned Parenthood intentionally not following the law, that's where the state will be involved.

I did not believe and I do not believe that Planned Parenthood should be defunded.

If Planned Parenthood wants to be involved in providing counseling services and HIV testing, they ought not be in the business of providing abortions.

More than 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does nationally is preventive care - including cervical cancer screenings, breast cancer screenings, and family planning - mostly for women with low resources and income below the poverty line.

Planned Parenthood is absolutely wasteful spending.

The states are not free, under the guise of protecting maternal health or potential life, to intimidate women into continuing pregnancies.

Nearly 100 years ago, when Planned Parenthood was founded, birth control was illegal.
