No, I’m not going to just assume that you know what you’re talking about when you claim that Stericycle waited until Romney sold his interest in Stericycle before disposing of fetuses. I don’t even think Romney has said what you’re claiming.

Your position:
Romney ran Bain.
Bain invested in Stericycle.
Stericycle was involved is handled aborted babies.
Romney was therefore involved "in this sordid business.”

Reality:
Bain acquired an interest in Stericycle, a medical-waste disposal business, in late 1999.
Romney may or may not have had input on investments after February 1999 (Romney is challenging the story posted earlier).
Bain Capital said recently that Romney had no involvement in management or investment activities since February 1999.
In April 1999, Romney was quoted as saying he was working 16-hour days, 7 days a week, running the Salt Lake Olympic Committee.
No one thus far has shown Stericycle was handling aborted babies at that time.
No one thus far has shown Romney was involved in making the Bain deal.
No one thus far has shown Romney knew Stericycle was involved in disposing of aborted babies at the time the Bain deal was made.

I don't need to show that Stericycle waited until Bain sold its interest. I don't even think that's right, as I believe Bain sold in 2004 and the first mention of Stericycle and abortion was in 2003. What I am saying is that I prefer reality to fantasy.
