MYTH: Under Governor Romney's Massachusetts Health Insurance Reform Plan, Abortion Services Are Offered As Part Of The Commonwealth Care Benefit Services Package.
FACT: The Commonwealth Care Benefit Services Package Was Developed By The Connector Authority – An Independent Authority Separate From The Governor's Office.
The Commonwealth Care Package Is Designed And Administered By The Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority. "The Connector administers two separate programs; Commonwealth Care and Commonwealth Choice. Commonwealth Care offers subsidized insurance to people whose annual incomes are up to 300% or the Federal Poverty Level." (Commonwealth Connector Official Website, www.mass.gov, Accessed 2/5/07)
The Commonwealth Heath Insurance Connector Authority Is An Independent Public Authority And Their Decisions Were Made Separate Of The Romney Administration. "The Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority is an independent public authority created to implement significant portions of the new landmark health care reform legislation. The Connector assists qualified Massachusetts adult residents with the purchase of affordable health care coverage if they don't already have it." (Commonwealth Connector Official Website, www.mass.gov, Accessed 2/5/07)
FACT: Under Massachusetts Law And Court Precedent, If The State Is Funding Health Care Benefits – As It Is With The Subsidized Commonwealth Care Products – It Cannot Refuse To Fund Abortions.
In 1981, The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Ruled That The Massachusetts Constitution Required Payment For Abortions For Medicaid-Eligible Women. (Moe v. Secretary of Admin & Finance, 1981)
- According To The Decision, When A State Subsidizes Medical Care, It Cannot Infringe On "The Exercise Of A Fundamental Right" Which The Court Interpreted As Access To Medically Necessary Abortion Services. (Moe v. Secretary of Admin & Finance, 1981)
In 1997, The Supreme Judicial Court Reaffirmed Its Position That A State-Subsidized Plan Must Offer "Medically Necessary Abortions."

So is Rudy the equivalent of Pol-pot too?
Well, Stalin said, ""One death is a tragedy. One million deaths is a statistic."
That's the kind of mindnumbing magnitude the abortion supporting politicians of our day hide behind. The carnage is so huge, and so well-hidden behind sterile walls, that people just don't grasp what is really going on.
Yes, definitely agree: abortion is evil.

Do you think Hillary is?
Notice where I list Hillary on the evil scale. I put her somewhere between James Buchanan and Bill Clinton.
"Ranging from the most vile to least vile match Mitt to someone comparable: The Devil himself, Hitler, Ghengis Kahn, Stalin, Jeffrey Dahmer, David Duke, Richard Nixon, James Buchanan, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Roseanne Barr, Miss America - Tara Connor, Rosie O'Donnel, or Donald Trump."
Do I have that right? Is that your theory?
Yes, and its name change coincided with Mitt running.
Ok, I'm just trying to follow along here at this grasp for some kind of conspiracy. So why again did they change their name and lose the "resistance"? Are they no longer wanting to resist evil? Do you have have a problem with resisting evil?
