Republicans Love Baby Killing Romney

Think Progress points out an interesting tidbit on Romneycare:

As governor, Romney greatly expanded access publicly-financed contraception through his 2006 health care reform law. The state’s Commonwealth Care, established under Romneycare, offers subsidized, low or no-cost insurance to low-income residents and provides primary and preventive care that includes “family planning services” and prescription contraceptives. In 2005, Romney also “signed a bill that could expand the number of people who get family-planning services, including the morning-after pill” and asked the Department of Health and Human Services to require Catholic hospitals to issue the morning after pill to rape victims.

In fact, the Obamacare rule Romney is now characterizing as an affront to religious liberties is very similar to a 2002 state law he tacitly supported. Like more than two dozen states across the country, Massachusetts required insurers that provide outpatient benefits to cover hormone replacement therapy and all FDA-approved contraceptive methods — well before Obamacare became law. The Massachusetts rule exempts “an employer that is a church or qualified church-controlled organization” from the mandate, but prohibits institutions such as hospitals, universities, and nursing homes from denying their employees birth control coverage.

But in the illogical mind of a Republican, words speak louder than actions. Romney DID this, but he says he wouldn’t now, so they believe him. I mean it’s not like the guy would profit off aborted fetuses, or would he?

This is the problem plaguing the right. They constantly refuse to listen to fact and instead engage in a world of fantasy. They take everything Fox News and Rush Limbaugh says as gospel without considering that they are being played. And if we do get a “President Romney” and he re-engages in the actions he took as Governor, the right is certain to blame the left and everyone else, because they can’t admit their own stupidity lead us to this. Mark my words!
