Because of their ardent anti-choice stance, the rw meme on health care reform makes no sense.
Each and every day, we hear the rw meme that a "government run health care plan will put a bureaucrat between a patient and their doctor."

I suggest that each and every time a rw anti-choicer gives money and/or support to an anti-choice politician or organization, stands along the road with an anti-choice sign, pickets a clinic and harasses patients, committs an act of violence to a doctor or clinic service provider, causes destruction to a clinic or even votes against choice in the voting booth and tells their children and others that pro-choice people all want to "kill babies," they are inserting themselves directly between a patient and their doctor. They are attempting to place bureaucrats and politicians in a position to directly affect a medical decision. Isn't this exactly why they claim to be again health care reform?

I woke up to this thought this morning and it struck me as just one more brick in their McMansion of hyprocracy.

1. As George Carlin said:
"Pro-life is anti-woman!"

2. Yeah, it makes no sense, b/c they're insane.
By being anti abortion (in reality, anti-woman) and fighting against a right to healthcare, they're basically guilty of trying to be in favor of post-birth abortion. If you deny needed healthcare, that's a form of post-birth abortion.
