He is not on the side of women, women entering the workforce, on women getting ahead, on these very fundamental issues of access to health care. i thought president obama laid out the case very clearly. he has been a president who has been for women from day one. obviously, the lily ledbetter fair pay act was the first bill. and he is -- he has a record of standing up for women. i think mitt romney is lost back in, you know, decades. >> cecile richards, great to have you with us on "the ed show....

Wants to turn back the clock on this too. he really, literally, and they were completely disingenuous about this last night. mitt romney would have supported the blunt amendment, which would let any employer in this country refuse to provide birth control for its employees and get rid of planned parenthood, which provides birth control to 3 million folks every year. he is not on the side of women, women entering the workforce, on women getting ahead, on these very fundamental issues of access to...
