The answer to that does not change what Mitt-flop did...He trampled all over religious freedom and demonstrated his commitment to the Culture of Death.

I'm in complete agreement, but Paul Harvey has inspired me to ask for "...the rest of the story."

Glad to hear it, but are they fighting it by dispensing abortifacients while lobbying the Massachusetts legislature, or are they fighting it by refusing to do so and seeking injunctions in the courts to prevent the law from being carried out, pending Massachusetts Judicial Court review? That is the same court which made gay marriage the law of the land in the only state which recognizes it.
Shutting down would get people thinking about this in a quick hurry.

If any GOVT. money went to pay for anything in that Hospital then they were on the hook so to speak to take the Govt. orders. So it shall be written...so it shall be done.
In other words, so far it looks like Romney’s legal counsel was correct, and he had no choice. But let’s ignore that because it doesn’t advance our misleading insination that Mitt Romney WANTED to do this.
If you were arguing that Mitt was too deferential to his legal counsel, we could have a discussion about that (and the jury is obviously still out because we haven’t won the court case). That would at least be a justifiable opinion and a rational argument.
But it is clear Romney did NOT want to approve this pill, OR to force hospitals to dispense it. HE vetoed the legislation, and when the veto was overridden, he tried to maintain the exemption for hospitals. Only when he was told that legally he had no right to do so did he give in and enforce the law.
