DENVER (AP) -- Pitching for the women's vote, President Barack Obama said Wednesday
that Republicans intent on undoing his health care law would be
eliminating benefits for women and funding for contraceptive services.
GOP rival Mitt Romney took a potshot at California when he compared it
to financially troubled Greece.
Obama sought
to draw a stark contrast with Romney, pointing out that the former
Massachusetts governor said he intended to take the health care law and
"kill it dead" on his first day in office and "get rid" of Planned
Parenthood.
"They want to take us back to the
policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21st century," Obama told a
largely female crowd of about 4,000 at a campaign event in Denver.
He
argued that decisions affecting a woman's health are "not up to
politicians, they're not up to insurance companies. They're up to you."
