Washington Joe Manchin has a habit of changing his position depending on his audience. And nowhere is Washington Joe’s flip-flopping more evident than on Planned Parenthood, an issue on which Manchin has accomplished the difficult feat of offending both pro-life and pro-abortion groups.

  • Though he claims to be “pro-life” Washington Joe has repeatedly voted to give taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, and has promised to protect funding into the future.
  • Earlier this year, Washington Joe came under fire from pro-life groups after posing for a picture with an “I Stand With Planned Parenthood” sign.
  • In a startling turnaround, Washington Joe then posed with members of a pro-life group holding a “We Don’t Need Planned Parenthood” sign, leading his spokesman to give one of the most bizarre explanations in U.S. Senate history, saying “any signs he holds bear no relation to his policy positions.”

“Washington Joe’s two-faced position on Planned Parenthood may play well with his D.C. friends, but West Virginians can see through his act,” said NRSC Spokesman Bob Salera. “Washington Joe owes West Virginia voters an explanation as to how he can call himself ‘pro-life’ when he votes to send their hard-earned tax dollars to the nation’s largest abortion provider.”
