Former OMB director under Bush and now governor of Indiana Mitch Daniels, is under fire for letting Planned Parenthood rent out the governor’s mansion for a party.

Thursday evening, the group that advocates for family planning, contraception and abortion rights held a thank-you party for volunteers at the residence. Per the governor’s residence policies, nonprofits and charitable groups can use the residence — deemed the "people’s living room" — for a nominal fee.

That didn’t sit well with social conservatives, including Sen. Jeff Drozda, R-Westfield, who used to work for Indiana Right to Life. He held a news conference outside the residence, where protesters gathered, to declare that a group under investigation by the attorney general for not reporting underage child sex shouldn’t be allowed in the residence.

Friday, Daniels defended Planned Parenthood’s right to party in his house. In this country, he said, you’re innocent until proven guilty, even if you might be under investigation.

And, he said, "The residence belongs to the people on a neutral basis. We’re not going to be involved in picking and choosing."

(FYI, Indiana is one of the states where PP is under fire for not turning over records in investigator’s attempts to determine whether statutory rapes had been covered up by the agency)
