Romney Attended Planned Parenthood Fundraiser in 1994

ABC News' Rick Klein Reports: Mitt Romney attended a fund-raising reception for Planned Parenthood in 1994 in conjunction with a $150 donation his wife made to the organization -- notwithstanding Romney's contention that he had "no recollection" of the circumstances under which his wife made gave money to the abortion-rights group.

In the photograph obtained by ABC News, Romney and his wife, Ann, are shown in a yellow-and-white tent chatting with local political activists, including Nicki Nichols Gamble, who was then president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts.

Nichols Gamble -- whose back is the camera in the photograph -- told ABC that the event was a Planned Parenthood fundraising "house party" in Cohasset, Mass., in June 1994. At the time, Romney, R-Mass., was locked in a tight Senate campaign with Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and was touting his support for abortion rights.

That event, Nichols Gamble said, was the occasion where Ann Romney wrote her $150 check -- drafted on a joint checking account she had with her husband -- to Planned Parenthood of Massachusetts.

"They were both there, and I remember very well chatting with both of them, and talking about his support for the pro-choice agenda," she said. "We talked about the fact that he was taking a pro-choice position on the issues, and we were very pleased about that."

2. Romney is so smarmy he makes used car salesmen look good

He has no convictions other than what gets him elected. And the stupid Repukes had the gall to label Bill Clinton "Slick Willy" and call Kerry a flip-flopper!

3. If Romney's own family was unpopular, he would sell them down river.

4. Yeah, but they aren't going to give this guy the nomination.

So they won't have to worry about the flip-flop thing.

I think we'll be dealing with Rudy (same problem as Mitt) or Huckabee (Don't get me started).

5. His support for rights for gays will hurt him too. Download the image.
