Did you know the Republican National Committee SUBSIDIZES ABORTIONS FOR last 18 YEARS?
RNC SUBSIDIZES ABORTIONS FOR last 18 YEARS — AND COUNTING…. The debate over financing of abortions — the basis for the offensive Stupak amendment — is all about money being fungible. Amy Sullivan explained the problem nicely recently: "The problem, they say, is that if any insurance plan that covers abortion is allowed to participate in a public exchange, then premiums paid to that plan in the form of taxpayer-funded subsidies help support that abortion coverage even if individual abortion procedures are paid for out of a separate pool of privately-paid premium dollars."
But applying this argument can prove problematic. Focus on the Family, for example, one of the nation’s largest religious right organizations and a fierce opponent of abortion rights, has health insurance for its employees through a company that covers "abortion services." The far-right outfit, by its own standards, indirectly subsidizes abortions.
RNC — whose platform calls abortion "a fundamental assault on innocent human life" — gets insurance through Cigna with a plan that covers elective abortion.
The Republicans’ health care package has been in place since 1991 — thanks, Lee Atwater — meaning that, by the party’s own argument, it has been indirectly subsidizing abortions for 18 years.
Complicating matters, Politico found that Cigna offers customers the opportunity to opt out of abortion coverage — "and the RNC did not choose to opt out."
It comes as no surprise. They have been the recipients of the profits from the Insurance companies encouraging abortions for 30 years, why would they not, under the table, support abortion. Then add in the number of Republicans who commit sexual crimes. And you can come to your own conclusions.
Remember these are the same people who support their politicians cheating on their wives while calling all other politicians "Immoral" if they even look at another woman. These are the same people who cheered on and named as Hero’s 2 self confessed child molesters/child traffickers for "Exposing" corruption at ACORN.

Of course the RNC elite don’t care about abortion - other than using it as a tool to manipulate voters.

Um.. not "and counting". Steele found out that was in the policy and they’re changing it. I’ve got no idea about Focus on the Family. Maybe you can provide a link proving your assertion.

No. But most Republicans are pro-choice. It is social conservatives who are so vocally pro-life.

Being a pro-choice Republican, all I can say is good for the RNC.
