More Headaches For Mitt: Unlike ObamaCare, RomneyCare Covers Abortion Services

· Thursday, May 12, 2011 · 2 comments

It probably isn’t good for Mitt Romney that something like this would come out while he’s preparing a run for the Republican nomination:

Romney may well be one of the few Republicans in a position to beat Barack Obama in November 2012, but in order to get there he has to win the Republican nomination while simultaneously defending a plan that is strikingly similar to one that the GOP has made a mission out of repealing. It will be, to say the least, interesting watching him try the thread the needle on this one.

    Doug,
    Poor Mitt…his lifes biggest accomplishment just keeps biting him.
    Slightly off topic…did you see Rand Pauls rant about free health-care? The idea Tha a total whackadoodle like this guy exerts influence over legislation is truly scary.

    One would think that he could only flip flop so much before finally getting fatally burnt by that…
