The binge and purity purgers of the “highly-influential RedState” are demanding that the RNC abort some of their post-natal employees:
Let’s keep this simple. Word got out today via Politico that the RNC’s health care package for their employees covers abortions. At the risk of belaboring the obvious, if you at any time have donated to the RNC since 1991 (when this policy apparently took place), some incremental portion of your donation went to the administrative costs of running the RNC, including employee salaries and benefits packages. Part of “benefits packages” in this context is apparently a health care package that pays for abortions.
[...]
In order for the RNC to regain the trust of their donors, they must disclose the names of all people involved in any way of the selection of their health care plan. And those people must be summarily fired. No severance packages, no golden parachutes; fired. For cause.
This is definitely good news for Doug Hoffman.

“they must disclose the names of all people involved in any way of the selection of their health care plan.” And their friends. And anyone they ever talked to or sat next to at a GOP meeting. In fact, the whole party should just dissolve in shame and take their fascist baby killing health plan with them to the grave. From the ashes Caribou Barbie will bring forth a new and improved party, with a health plan that specifically excludes coverage of ladies’ naughty bits. Then we’ll rule the world…
The RNC elected Michael Steel to lead it. Any donors who ever trust it again deserve what they get for their money.
“highly influential” . . .
They’re under the influence of something.
Erick Erickson needs to head on down to his local tattoo parlour and get THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! drilled onto his forehead.
He should be thanking the RNC for giving him something to get upset about. Being outraged is what Dumbass lives for.
Labor lawyers everywhere await the fruits of Erickson’s advice.
Would it be too much to ask the tattoo artist to engrave his forehead with a more enigmatic expression “555+111=???”.
While Mr.EE engages his mathematical skills, said artist would surreptitiously inscribe “You know what to do” on his backside…
Better!
Erick Erickson is a city councilor for Macon, Georgia. Someone should look into seeing if the city employees of Macon have an insurance policy that covers abortion. And, of course, if they do, Erick should be removed from office. For Cause.
For Cause I say!
“For cause I said so” said Eric, son of Eric and sister Ericka.
Oh, go all in, Erick.
Ask which employees have HAD abortions.
You know you want to!
Can’t be long anymore till women who want to be in the GOP have to file a complete health history to see if there was any reproductive ickiness in their past.
And the endgame will be virginity before marriage inspectors.
Yeah, WTF dint he? Left wing pussy. Anyways, I’m sure the RNC will be changing that coverage this morning.
Prolly just ask for bjs from all their f candidates, then write down virgo intacto. Like now, actually.
But does the insurance policy cover lobotomies?
Based on the evidence at hand, I’d say that’s a big YES.
Just fire someone over this, this outrage??!
I think burning at the stake would be too good for them. Would also be more medieval, which is where they seem headed.
BTW. Anbody figure out why this is only coming out now after almost 20 years???
I am curious how real journalists managed to get two confirmed sources in CIGNA to confirm that the policy has been in place since 1991. It is not a private document, but I can’t image that it is allowable under company policy to disclose this sort of thing. You have to wonder if some anti-choicers at the company leaked it out of disgust.
Or anti-Stupaks.
H is for hypocites and I is for IOKIYR.
Redstate is really going for the beat down on women and anyone who doesn’t treat them like garbage like they do is not allowed in the club “Dictators are Arseholes like Us”. Oppressive dictators wannabes like Redstate do have really low scumbag standards to maintain.
Some of the commenters already did.
Reading thru that thread is a fount of good laughs – especially this little thread
and it is the gift that keeps on giving
One fellow points out that the commenters themselves are probably subsidizing abortions because they have a health plan that also covers abortion. The ‘Lalalalala — cant hear you’ response is a thing of beauty..
Erick is begging for real trouble this time. Past events have amply demonstrated that Republicans don’t believe that the morality they insist on for everyone else should in any way apply to them.
Here’s hoping that nothing deters him from his quest to purge the GOP of its last vestiges of common sense and compassion. If left to his own devices, he can be counted on to soon start producing posts like this:
First, digby.
Second, THE HELL? Erick, son of Erick, whatever the fuck you’re drinking, I want me some.

Every time I see ‘Eric son of Eric,’ I flash on the Simpson’s ‘and I am Homer, son of Simp.’ Somehow it all fits together.
It’s not easy to splutter and shriek at the same time, yet somehow RedStaters can do it.
The whole concept of Republican abortions has made my day.
I’m especially intrigued that
“Christ” is running for the Senate in Florida. Has someone told the popenfuhrer? I thought he was supposed to make his second coming in
MunichRome. Things must be worse than I thought!Damnable thing won’t work on the strikeout thingy! You know what I mean…
