“Unlike Mitt Romney, President Obama is standing up for Planned Parenthood.”

The most powerful thing we own is our vote.

I’ve always been me. I’ve always been very direct and have told the truth and have been very willing to stand up and speak out.

We can go back to economic plans that are only designed to benefit the wealthiest among us, like Mitt Romney.

From education to broadband, from building roads and bridges to supporting the military, Barack Obama is delivering for North Carolina. And he is delivering for America. A growing middle class is the foundation for a strong America.

Or we can keep moving forward with President Obama’s vision for a growing economy that works for middle-class families in North Carolina and all across the country. For me, for North Carolina and for America, it’s an easy choice.

I have spent my tenure in office – and, in fact, my adult lifetime – fighting for things that I care deeply about. And as anyone who knows me will tell you, I do not back down from tough fights.

I work, and then I leave the office, and I’m with my kids and just sort of enjoy them on a visceral level, and I don’t feel like I’m exorcising my own deep ideas about parenthood and about how my life will come into play in my work.

I have been proud to fight and stand for religious liberty, to stand against Planned Parenthood, to defend life for my entire career.

A lot of the problems of parenthood are universal.

It’s powerfully important for me as a pro-choice person and person who supports Planned Parenthood to have Rob accept me as not a baby-killing horrible person.
