The politicians and public figures currently considering a run against pro-abortion President Barack Obama disagree with each other on some things, but on one issue, they are united: they are in favor of defunding Planned Parenthood.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This week, the Susan B. Anthony List contacted<\/a> Republican presidential hopefuls to ask them where they stand on defunding Planned Parenthood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several hopefuls, including\u00a0Rep. Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich,<\/strong> and\u00a0Sen. Rick Santorum<\/strong>, had already publicly spoken out in support of defunding America’s largest abortion provider, whhhich receives a third of its income from taxpayers’ pockets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gov. Haley Barbour, Gov. Mike Huckabee, Gov. Sarah Palin<\/strong>, and \u00a0Gov. Tim Pawlenty<\/strong> also provided statements to the SBA List.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gov. Mitt Romney<\/strong> told National Review through a spokesperson that he supports the Pence Amendment. It should also be noted that Rep. Ron Paul <\/strong>voted in support of the Pence Amendment and is a co-sponsor of the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Donald Trump<\/strong>, who is rumored to be considering a run as well, told Bill O’Reilly on The Factor<\/em> last week that he was pro-life, but was not asked about his views on defunding Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

Obama, who just announced his\u00a0reelection\u00a0campaign, is a well-known supporter of Planned Parenthood (they\u00a0endorsed him<\/a> in 2008). The year before he promised<\/a> them, “On this fundamental issue [abortion], I will not yield and Planned Parenthood will not yield.” And when asked about LiveAction’s efforts to expose Planned Parenthood, he suggested<\/a> the reports were “manufactured.”<\/p>\n
