Fred Thompson condemns Mitt Romney
For one of the few instances where the Massachusetts Mittstake actually acted like a decent human being. Lest we forget, this is anathema to the new Republican Party.
Fred Thompson escalated the Republican presidential candidates' war over abortion Wednesday by tying former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney to "$50 abortions in Massachusetts."See, he actually provided health care insurance for women! And I just love that last part where he blows off the anti-abortion troglodytes. I still won't vote for Mitt, but thanks to Grandpa Fred I now know that Mitt is not all bad.
Romney, the governor from 2003 until January, helped create Commonwealth Care, a state-run and subsidized program for low- and moderate-income people. The state helps determine what services are to be covered, and its list includes a provision in which women can get abortions for $50 co-payments.
The legislation also created a MassHealth payment policy advisory board that gave Planned Parenthood a seat, but not an anti-abortion group.
