Romney Says He'll 'Get Rid of Planned Parenthood', Obamacare, Amtrak Funding, NEA, NEH: VIDEO

At an interview in Kirkwood, Missouri, Mitt Romney offered a few ideas on how to make cuts to reduce debt:

"The test is pretty simple. Is the program so critical, it's worth borrowing money from china to pay for it? And on that basis of course you get rid of Obamacare, that's the easy one. Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that. The subsidy for Amtrak, I'd eliminate that. The National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities."

Romney won the Hawaii and American Samoa caucuses last night, and, as you may have heard, came in third in Mississippi in Alabama. Santorum and Gingrich took first and second in those states, respectively.

Here's where the delegate count stands:

Santorum's two victories Tuesday were worth at least 29 delegates. Gingrich won at least 24 and Romney at least 31, including the nine from American Samoa. The delegate split underscored the difficulty that Romney's rivals face in overcoming his big lead.

The partial allocation of delegates from Tuesday's voting states left Romney with 485 in The Associated Press count, out of the 1,144 needed to win the nomination. Santorum had 246, Gingrich 131 and Paul 47.

Forced Vaginal Probing A Source Of Levity Among Virginia Legislators: VIDEO

Not two weeks ago, male Republicans in the Virginia legislature were advocating mandatory "trans-vaginal" ultrasounds for women seeking abortion in the early weeks of pregnancy. If they'd had their way, women seeking abortions would have had camera-equipped metal thingamajigs forcibly inserted into their vaginas to snap pictures of fetuses too underdeveloped to be detected with a standard ultrasound.

That battle's over now -- "trans-vaginal" ultrasounds shall remain purely elective in Virginia -- but one Virginia lawmaker won't let it go. He's milking the issue for its comedic value. That's State Del. David Albo, who assumed the dais in the House of Delegates on Friday to relate an allegedly humorous anecdote about how media coverage of the legislation disrupted his attempted seduction of his wife. As he told the story, he set the mood with some porn-y funk music, played through his cell phone.

Indiana Lawmaker Attacks 'Radicalized' Girl Scouts in Anti-Gay, Transphobic Letter to Colleagues

In an anti-gay, transphobic letter to colleagues which also attacks feminists and the Obamas, Indiana Rep. Bob Morris (R - Fort Wayne) explains why he won't be supporting a resolution honoring the 100th anniversary of the "radically pro-abortion" Girl Scouts, the Journal Gazette reports.

Writes Morris in the letter:

Many parents are abandoning the Girl Scouts because they promote homosexual lifestyles. In fact, the Girl Scouts education seminar girls are directed to study the example of role models. Of the fifty role models listed, only three have a briefly-mentioned religious background – all the rest are feminists, lesbians, or Communists. World Net Daily, in a May 2009 article, states that Girl Scout Troops are no longer allowed to pray or sing traditional Christmas Carols.

Boys who decide to claim a “transgender” or cross-dressing life-style are permitted to become a member of a Girl Scout troop, performing crafts with the girls and participate in overnight and camping activities – just like any real girl. The fact that the Honorary President of Girl Scouts of America is Michelle Obama, and the Obama’s are radically pro-abortion and vigorously support the agenda of Planned Parenthood, should give each of us reason to pause before our individual or collective endorsement of the organization.

As members of the Indiana House of Representatives, we must be wise before we use the credibility and respect of the “Peoples’ House” to extend legitimacy to a radicalized organization. The Girl Scouts of America stand in a strong tradition that reflects with fidelity the traditional values of our homes and our families. The tradition extends from coast-to-coast and back through the past one hundred years. That said, I challenge each of you to examine these matters more closely before you extend your name and your reputation to endorse a group that has been subverted in the name of liberal progressive politics and the destruction of traditional American family values.

Morris says he's having success in getting other Republican lawmakers to pull their names from the resolution. The Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana has posted a statement on their website about the group's values.

Women for Santorum: VIDEO

Last week, Rick Santorum told Piers Morgan that rape victims should accept their babies as gifts from God: “I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you.”

Now, Women for Santorum (via The Second City) are speaking out for the candidate.

"When life gives you rape. Make rape-ade."
