Oversight Versus Hypocrisy

There's a difference between oversight and hyprocrisy.

An oversight is something like "The RNC's insurance plan covers elective abortions."  It's embarrassing to Republicans and goes to show that they do not practice what they preach.  Politicians do that.  Plenty of Dems do it too.  In this case nobody should be surprised.  Telling America what can and cannot be in insurance plans is one thing, but voting that America's women won't be able to use insurance exchange plans to cover elective abortion while having it in your own insurance plan is still oversight.

Hypocrisy is Jack Moss's defense of the RNC in this case.  The difference is that you fail to recognize the oversight as anything even remotely debatable as something that needs to be corrected.

Which is bogus. First, I sell insurance for Cigna. It's not true. There is NO opt out if you don't want "elective abortion coverage", the plan is what it is and contains what it contains.  It's a "universal coverage".   The issue is whether or not you would use it.

We know that only liberals do.

  Secondly those anonymous employees - who could be fired for even discussing the specifics of any plan, and I will find out who they are, don't know what they are talking about.

 Most insurance plans have some type of  "elective abortion" coverage when the mother's life is in danger, except for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida - which covers NO abortions for any reason.  By the way it's the plan most Democrats carry in South Florida.

One could not expect the RNC to offer no insurance at all, and having such insurance isn't any indication of disqualification of position on abortion. I'm against breast implants but my plans pays for one.

In this case, Jack Moss just made one of the best arguments in favor of removing the Stupak amendment from the final reconciled health care reform bill:  since it is an elective procedure, and having the coverage for the elective procedure is not an automatic validation of the procedure, there is no need to remove coverage from America's women.  In effect, Jack Moss is saying that abortion is a choice under the current law of the land and should be covered as what it is: an elective medical procedure for women.

How enlightened.

Secondly, Moss's statement that "only liberals" would ever choose to have an abortion is idiotic.  Is Moss going to stand at the clubhouse door and rip up membership cards for any conservative woman who has ever had an abortion, and then brand them with a big ol' L?

Please.  And people wonder why I say Wingnuts are misogynists.
