WASHINGTON — The Republican National Committee's health insurance plan covers elective abortions for its employees, an option Republicans strongly oppose in health overhaul legislation that Democrats are trying to push through Congress.
Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele learned of the policy's abortion coverage Thursday through a news report and immediately instructed staff to inform the insurance carrier that the RNC wanted to opt out of elective abortion coverage, RNC spokeswoman Gail Gitcho said.
"Money from our loyal donors should not be used for this purpose," Steele said in a statement. "I don't know why this policy existed in the past, but it will not exist under my administration. Consider this issue settled."
Gitcho said the policy has been in effect since 1991.
A memo earlier from RNC Chief of Staff Ken McKay to the organization's members said Steele was taking the issue very seriously and "has been engaged by phone on this issue."
The GOP platform traditionally includes strong anti-abortion language. All House Republicans, except one, voted for an amendment imposing restrictions of coverage for abortions in the health care bill that passed the House last Saturday. Inclusion of the abortion restrictions prompted an angry backlash from liberal House Democrats, and some are now threatening to vote against a final bill if the curbs stay in.
The memo said the RNC received a phone call from a reporter on Wednesday asking whether the RNC's health care policy, through Cigna, covered elective abortions for employees. On Thursday, Politico.com published a report citing two sales agents for Cigna who said the RNC's policy covered elective abortion.
The Cigna employees said the RNC didn't choose to opt out of abortion coverage when given the opportunity, Politico.com reported.
"Upon learning of this story, at the chairman's direction, we immediately contacted the Executive Committee," the RNC memo said. "We will be scheduling a call with the Executive Committee in the immediate future to discuss this matter more fully."
The memo said the RNC health insurance policy has been in review for some time.
"Chairman Steele had already called for an official review of our health insurance policy along with a number of other operational items," the memo said.

Its utterly amazing of all the political mileage the RNC has gained by insinuating and promising the conservative anti-abortionist voters over the last 28 years of how much they Don't believe in abortions.:wiggle:

Do they have any stats to if any repubs used the bennies for Abortions? now that would be some good stuff.
Otherwise stats are clear on what races have the most abortions.

Much of the current grass roots conservatism movement (and the reason Obama was elected) is due to the conservative constituency getting ultimately fed up with representation that does not follow through with promises.
Not that you will actually read my post and come up with a reasoned response because you are nothing but a propagandist, but there's some truth to what I'm saying for anyone who is reading this for a reason other than to quote it, put smilies up, and then post some propaganda.

Sorry man, but killing a kid is killing a kid. Murder is a crime in this country. "Religious" (what does that even mean to you?) people just tend to side with the morally superior position on this issue.
There is a large industry that revolves around convincing women to kill their babies. If you werent blinded by rhetoric and peer pressure, you would be appalled as well. But alas, you remain behind a wall of ethos and un-stretched vaginas.

You can spin it six ways to sunday, but when all of the legal ease and silver tongued semantics fall away it still remains that the root of the practice is killing children. You can call killing something else. You can call the child something else. No matter what you call it, it is what it is. Simply by advocating such a thing it shows what darkness lies in your heart.

how can you kill something that doesn't exist? the sperm by itself is nothing and an egg by itself is nothing. with conception, something alive does exist and that is a baby.
morning after pill from what i understand prevents ferilization. so no, it is not killing because there is nothing to kill.

It's simple, you either pay for your own abortion, or if the govt has to pay, then you get fixed at the same time. Or maybe after 2nd abortion you get fixed.
Then paying or not after 3 abortions you get fixed. 1 abortion doesn't bother me really. People make mistakes and young women may be better off having this choice. I guess I don't really know for sure if the baby is alive at 3 weeks, 7 weeks, 2 months etc etc.
But there is no excuse for multiple abortions. That is just repugnant and should be dealt with through women losing there right to carry children. Fix them after the 3rd abortion.

"It's a very lucrative business and that's why they want to increase numbers."
This was part of the reason that Johnson quit working for Planned Parenthood. Another reason she quit is because she couldnt live with the fact that she was advocating abortions after she actually watched one on ultrasound.

"In 2002 Life Dynamics, a pro-life group based in Texas, called 800 abortion clinics around the country, many of them run by Planned Parenthood. The caller would say she was a 13-year-old girl whose boyfriend was 22, and she needed an abortion. Ninety-one percent of the clinics told the caller they would give her an abortion, but warned her not to reveal her boyfriend's age"
"In a time when abortions nationwide are declining, Planned Parenthood is performing more abortions than ever — 264,943 in 2005-06. These abortions bring in at least a third of its $345 million in clinic income. "
"It is well known that Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, aligned herself with the eugenicists concerned with eliminating undesirables from the population. Moreover, Sanger received and accepted an invitation to address a Ku Klux Klan chapter and gave a speech that led to additional Klan invitations. Although we do not know what she said, we do know that recently questions have been raised about racism at Planned Parenthood clinics."

WASHINGTON — The Republican National Committee's health insurance plan covers elective abortions for its employees, an option Republicans strongly oppose in health overhaul legislation that Democrats are trying to push through Congress.
Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele learned of the policy's abortion coverage Thursday through a news report and immediately instructed staff to inform the insurance carrier that the RNC wanted to opt out of elective abortion coverage, RNC spokeswoman Gail Gitcho said.
"Money from our loyal donors should not be used for this purpose," Steele said in a statement. "I don't know why this policy existed in the past, but it will not exist under my administration. Consider this issue settled."
Gitcho said the policy has been in effect since 1991.
A memo earlier from RNC Chief of Staff Ken McKay to the organization's members said Steele was taking the issue very seriously and "has been engaged by phone on this issue."
The GOP platform traditionally includes strong anti-abortion language. All House Republicans, except one, voted for an amendment imposing restrictions of coverage for abortions in the health care bill that passed the House last Saturday. Inclusion of the abortion restrictions prompted an angry backlash from liberal House Democrats, and some are now threatening to vote against a final bill if the curbs stay in.
The memo said the RNC received a phone call from a reporter on Wednesday asking whether the RNC's health care policy, through Cigna, covered elective abortions for employees. On Thursday, Politico.com published a report citing two sales agents for Cigna who said the RNC's policy covered elective abortion.
The Cigna employees said the RNC didn't choose to opt out of abortion coverage when given the opportunity, Politico.com reported.
"Upon learning of this story, at the chairman's direction, we immediately contacted the Executive Committee," the RNC memo said. "We will be scheduling a call with the Executive Committee in the immediate future to discuss this matter more fully."
The memo said the RNC health insurance policy has been in review for some time.
"Chairman Steele had already called for an official review of our health insurance policy along with a number of other operational items," the memo said.

No fahqad, you were the one insisting that the "BABY" could hear, feel, and who knows what else. Just making a point, which is obviously above and beyond your comprehension level considering the fact that you think an embryo has feelings.
Regardless of your hurt feelings, there isn't a goddamn thing you can do about it. Is there?

Choke on this:
The current judicial interpretation of the U.S. Constitution regarding abortion in the United States, following the Supreme Court of the United States's 1973 landmark decision in Roe v. Wade, and subsequent companion decisions, is that abortion is legal but may be restricted by the states to varying degrees. States have passed laws to restrict late term abortions, require parental notification for minors, and mandate the disclosure of abortion risk information to patients prior to the procedure.[11]
The key, deliberated article of the U.S. Constitution is Article 14, Section 1, which states that
“ All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.[12] ”
The official report of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, issued in 1983 after extensive hearings on the Human Life Amendment (proposed by Senators Orrin Hatch and Thomas Eagleton), stated what substantially remains true today:
“ Thus, the [Judiciary] Committee observes that no significant legal barriers of any kind whatsoever exist today in the United States for a mother to obtain an abortion for any reason during any stage of her pregnancy.[13]
....and take all of your OPINIONS and shove them where the suns doesn't shine.

internet tough guy? im debating with you about a topic, stick to it.
here is what we got so far.
i tell you abortions are performed on babies performed on babies that can feel pain, reconize their mother voice, move and so on.
you comeback at me telling me that at 8 weeks the fetus is not developed to feel any pain.
i tell you abortions are performed all the way until the 32nd week when the baby is fully develped.
now you comeback at me with childish behavior of name calling and insults. is that all you have? go ahead... show me where the crack pipe is so i can see your point of view no matter how weak it is.

You are simple minded because you believe others should see the world through your eyes and have no opinions of their own just because their opinion are in line with the laws currently on the books in this country.
I really don't give a **** if people have abortions. In addition I do not have the RIGHT to tell them otherwise, nor do you have the right. You may believe you do, but you don't, and that's what's eating you up inside.
I laugh at people who think they can force their beliefs onto others.
You and the likes of Skillet, Dbrule, Yavoon and a few select others seem to think you are better than those who do not follow your footsteps.
Move to a country where there isn't a guarantee of Life, Liberty and justice and write your own laws. No one want to be told what they are allowed to think. You can stomp and whine all you want, but until you and the rest of your ilk change the laws, you have no choice but to ****ing live with it or get the **** out.

Its garbage like this that has caused a grass-roots revolt to leave republicanism and restore fiscal and social conservatism.
Republicans that back these types of things will be run out of town on a rail.

Much of the current grass roots conservatism movement (and the reason Obama was elected) is due to the conservative constituency getting ultimately fed up with representation that does not follow through with promises.
Not that you will actually read my post and come up with a reasoned response because you are nothing but a propagandist, but there's some truth to what I'm saying for anyone who is reading this for a reason other than to quote it, put smilies up, and then post some propaganda.
Obama's election proved that they're aren't enough conservatives out there anymore (like in the 80's) to elect republicans into the WH, b/c liberals and progressives outnumber conservatives and fair weather independent voters. When the voters come in massive numbers Repub. simply lose the WH and the Congress. The only way conservatives/Repub. when elections are when elections our close enough to steal (as in 2000 and 2004) or thru low voter turn out b/c liberals and progressives stayed home.
The voting demographics have changed dramatically since the 80's and 90's. The GOP has a smaller tent than ever before and has yet to find a way to diversify their party. In the 21st century moving forward the GOP will not win the general election with only 3-5 percent of the african-american and hispanic vote.
Remember, 56 million conservative republican voters went to the polls in 2008 and were soundly trounched by 66 million liberal-progressive-moderate voters. Getting defeated by 10 million votes is nothing to sneeze at nor ignore. Can't imagine that 10 million conservatives just stayed home b/c they didn't like Palin and McCain!
The GOP is going to need to find a way to add a little more color and diversity to its party platform and ideology in the 21st Century or winning the WH will continue to be an up hill battle.
The days of the GOP getting help from the Supreme Court or Diebold voting machines to win elections are all but OVER!
