Um ...

Well, isn't this interesting.

Granted, I somewhat deviate from the accepted progressive views on abortion, but it seems to me that if your party uses a pro-life platform as a central component of winning campaigns, you probably shouldn't rail against coverage for abortions in a national health exchange while, at the same time, covering it for your own employees ...

Rep. Jack Kingston, a Georgia conservative, said “they need to drop that clause” from the policy or find a new one.

“From a philosophical standpoint, it’s inconsistent,” Kingston said. “It makes me think someone isn’t scrutinizing the purchases.”


That last statement gives me complete confidence in their ability to govern.
