Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, argued Tuesday night at the DNC that women cannot trust Mitt Romney when it comes to reproductive health issues.

Put simply, women in America cannot trust Mitt Romney. We cannot trust Mitt Romney to protect our health. He would repeal Obamacare, taking away our access to better maternity and prenatal care, and the law’s near universal coverage of birth control. And we cannot trust Mitt Romney to respect our rights.

 

He would overturn Roe v. Wade and sign into law a wave of outrageous restrictions on a woman’s ability to make decisions about her pregnancy. Mitt Romney would take away our power to make decisions about our lives and our futures. But there’s one decision he cannot take away—and that’s the one women will make on November 6.

Keenan also iterated Democrats’ opposition to recent Republican anti-abortion legislation, including laws to force women to get an ultrasound before an abortion.

We believe in funding family planning because it helps to prevent unintended pregnancy. We believe that a woman considering an abortion should not be forced to have an ultrasound against her will. We believe that rape is rape.
