GOP: Abortion Hypocrites

Years ago, Republicants learned that they can use abortion as a tool to attract voters. I'm sure that some GOP politicians are genuinely against it. Doesn't matter, since both cases are hypocrites in their claim for concern for the children.

We see this proven out as the healthcare related stories concerning children show the kids being saved by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) - saved from certain death from evil insurance giants who would have failed to cover them, or closed their files after maxing out their coverage costs. Cases I've seen were for cancer and heart surgery. Both kids were under five years old. I'm sure we'll hear more. I know scumbag insurance companies would do this, as I have experienced their evil in this regard.

So Republicants don't care if kids die! Unless they are embryos. This is the fallout of their rally against ACA. 1000s upon 1000s of kids with pre-existing conditions are ALREADY protected. And they CAN NOT max out their coverage.

If Republicants care so damn much about protecting "unborn children", they need to be asked why they are against ACA and the protection it affords existing, living children??? *crickets*

They are pro-life until the baby is born. After that, the child is no longer of their concern.

There is some mechanism that changes the child from a precious baby to a tax dollar sucking leech during the
short trip through the birth canal.

I am waiting for some Republican to explain that.
