Romneycare covers abortion

This is a growing issue in the republican race. I've seen it mentioned twice tonight. I saw this in the LA Times Duggars article and Chris Matthews mentioned it on Martin Bashears show.

Here is a summary from some website:

"One of the stated benefits covered in Commonwealth Care is "abortions." And Planned Parenthood is written into the law, as part of the "payment policy advisory board.""

Commonwealth Care health plans include:
•outpatient medical care (doctor's visits, surgery, radiology and lab, abortion, community health center visits)

I think that this is red meat for republicans looking for a reason to abandon Romney. I think abortion is the #2 issue for republicans (besides beating Obama). Just watch.

Romney will look like Sybil, he will be playing so many personalities. His job creator claims are played like an official joke.

Republican freak-outs from the HCR fight re the Country would explode instantaneously if either of these happened yet they are going to nominate someone who did both.

I am soooo looking forward to Wednesday - after the Iowa Caucuses - because that is when Newt has promised to start hammering the sh** out of Romney over these and other things Romney did that should make it impossible for him to win the R nomination.
