Absolutely, and if I might be so bold...the right's entire pro-life position is so riddled with hypocrisy as to make it completely untenable.

Two issues, for instance.

First, the right is endlessly bleating about abortion coverage under the ACA. When back in 2003 a Kaiser Family Foundation survey found that 46% of covered workers had full access to abortion services, paid for, in part, by conservative pro-lifer's own premiums. On top of that, in 2010 Kaiser determined that 3 in 10 employers reported that their programs covered elective abortion, and the balance of 70%, declined to answer either way. Kaiser estimated that at least half of those had policies that covered elective abortion, but would not report it for fear of backlash from pro-life groups. So...right-wingjobs, the health employer sponsored health insurance you love so much is probably paying for plenty of elective abortions. Do they know it? I say they good and goddamn well know it...It's just a little inconvenient to admit it.

Next...all life is sacred, they say. So all those embryos belonging to conservative couples who have no need for them anymore and that are being destroyed every day with no objection by the couples or by so many pro-life activists...why are those babies not sacred?

Hypocrisy abounds
