RomneyCare now offers free elective surgical abortions.
Mitt Romney was the enabler. This is how his government-dictated health plan is playing out. And he’s still proud of it. When he does touch on defects in his health plan, he never mentions abortion coverage as a problem. He’s either fine with it, or realizes he has to downplay it to get the conservative vote.
When the law was first implemented, there was a $50 copay for a RomneyCare elective surgical abortion. Now RomneyCare abortions are "free" for a $0 copay (or $50-$100 in some plans). In fact, the $0 copay shows up as early as 2008 at the Massachusetts Health Care Connector site. (The "Commonwealth Care" plans cover low-income residents, many of whom pay no monthly premiums.)
Of course, the abortions are not exactly free. We, the taxpayers cover the cost, whether we want to or not.
Amazingly, as overall RomneyCare costs and insurance premiums escalate, the copay for abortion drops! Why?
Because government health care is promoting abortion. This is really about “population control” by arrogant politicians and bureaucrat elites, righteously implementing Margaret Sanger’s eugenics dream. They don’t like excess people, especially if they’re “low income.”
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius recently shocked conservatives with her statement that, “The reduction in the number of pregnancies compensates for cost of contraception.” For such people, it’s an easy jump from contraception to abortion. Just think of all the health care that won’t have to be provided if a baby is disposed of before he’s born.
They view pregnancy (other than in their own families) as a negative health “condition.” It’s perfectly fine – and even enlightened – to see a baby as a cancer to be cut out and thrown into the hazardous waste bin.
To what extent does Mitt Romney fit in with that “enlightened” crowd? Possibly, he’s just motivated by his overweening ambition – to the point of not caring about anything other than going where he thinks the votes are. Whatever his motives, he cannot erase his severely pro-abortion record.
Romney’s pro-abortion timeline
Romney’s own record is clearly in support of “a woman’s right to choose” to kill her baby, and pro population control...
Ineligible RINO Backstabber:
"Thank Me!!!!! I cheat, I win.
And the dead babies vote for ME. for ME."
I will see America crash and burn before I will vote for Wirrack Mittsein Oromney. Sorry can’t do it.
In before "Then you're voting BHO." SO sick and tired of being fed that old line. I agree, I would rather see us crash under a D than crash more slowly under an R. Evidently the bulk of the electorate isn't pissed off enough yet, that's ok, I'm patient, they will be.

I am grateful for the pro-aborts who have a GENUINE conversion and become pro-life. However, these people are ALWAYS able to describe the catharsis that culminated in their conversion.
The reason for Myth's "conversion" seems to simply be that he decided to run for president and someone told him that it would be impossible to win the GOP nomination if he was openly pro-abortion.

His political statements change with his hair style. If he has a dry comb to the side, he attempts to sound like Jimmy Carter. If he has it moussed and combed up, he attempts o sound like he thinks Ronald Reagan would have sounded. Purest, 24 karat fool’s gold candidate. The most blatant charlatan in the entire history of the GOP.
Romney is not a good man. He’s a contemptible liar and a fraud.
Dare I say, Romney is a...slut?

More likely a sociopath.
Romney left the state of MA w a bigger government, deeper in debt, and w skyrocketed ‘fees’ [so he could pretend he hadn’t raised ‘taxes’ quite as much]. Yet I read a post on AmericanThinker that said Romney had left MA w “billions in surplus”. Where does misinformation of that magnitude come from? How many people actually believe Romney is a fiscal conservative? Are his opponents getting the truth out there?
This is a really weird election cycle.
And while I am at it, didn't we try running a 'moderate' Republican in 08? Did we not lose the election? Why are we pushing to do the same thing in 12?
Y’all may not hear from me for a while, again. I will be digging my bunkers and hunkering down with my Bible and guns for another four years.
I’m quite sure that Obamacare also covers abortion. It is written in there somewhere. And, if it is not, some judge will say that it has to cover them.
BTW, Romneycare and Obamacare are the same exact thing.
Why can’t Romney supporters see through him? Even Jay and Jordon Seculo seem to support him.
Follow the money.
