Romney Led Bain's Investment in Firm That Disposed of Aborted Fetuses
The Atlantic Wire ^ | July 2, 2012 | Elspeth Reeve

Posted on 07/02/2012 10:59:19 AM PDT by van_erwin

David Corn has a report out this morning that pushes the continuing attacks on Mitt Romney's tenure at Bain Capital forward not just because of the business it involves — disposing of aborted fetuses — but because it extends the length of time he worked at Bain. According to Securities and Exchange Commission documents, Romney was involved in Bain's investment in a company called Stericycle in late 1999. What did Stericycle do? Well, it was a fast-growing, profitable medical waste company. But it also had some problems, such as getting fined for keeping body parts and dead animals in unmarked containers or exposing workers to tuberculosis. And then there were the fetuses. Romney now describes himself as "adamantly pro-life" now but embraced pro-choice positions on abortion in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Back when Bain was involved with Stericycle, anti-abortion activists have waged a campaign against the company.

But that revelation may not be the most significant part of Corn's report (conservatives who aren't wild about Romney's conservative credentials aren't making much noise now that Romney is the Republican nominee). The most damaging part may be the dates.

Never belonged to a union. In fact, I always worked at a level where the union constitutions prohibited my membership!

You must be new around here.

Every now and then you should pull your head out and take a look around you.

Narses, if you want to play games, go to a park. If you want to debate issues, fine, but I'm not playing games with you.

Frankly, every Mittbot disgusts me. Your boy isn't yet the candidate, and if there's more news like we heard to day, he'll probably need to step down from his quest.

Right Cliff. You want to suppress the GOP turnout. You are classic USPS trash. I make a bad smell in your general direction. With humor and much laughter. And I think you are also very fat.

So many misstatements in your post.

I wrote, When I get an ad hominem I don't respond. I responded to your post, which was not addressed to me at all, ad hom or otherwise. I was trying to point out to you that if someone ignores you, it might be because of your poor technique.

Then you say I lectured you, which I certainly did not. Although I may be doing so now :) Do you discern the difference?

Then you say I'm an Obama supporter, which I am not. Then you suggest that I label those of you who act like adults (which you don't) by terms I never use (Romneybots, etc.) Then you project phony outrage on me. I am not outraged by Romney supporters, and nothing in any post I've ever made would indicate outrage at them.

I also never tell people they sound like they're posting drunk, or that they're petty or just plain idiots. Not saying you did or you are. Just...saying. :)

Now you have a nice evening and sweet dreams. Bless your heart.

It’s simply a bio waste handling outfit. They don’t do abortions. The law doesn’t allow abortionists to dispose of the bio hazards they generate by tossing them out their car windows on their way home. Do you think this outfit ought to provide coffins and funeral services, or just refuse the pick ups?

Dear Comrade:

Your efforts will help implement subsidized health care coverage for many undesirables who make less than 4 times the poverty level.

Each of those policies will include a $1 abortion surcharge. Enough to kill every baby in the covered group before it escapes it’s mother’s womb.

Your dear leader thanks you.

- President Obama

P.S. Send Money

Obama's Psyops Team is out in force.

Dear Principled Conservative,

Please don't vote for Romney. He may have invested in a company that disposed of medical waste including - aborted babies!

Thanks.

Your Pal,

Barry

So the net effect of not voting Romney is keeping your "conscience" while electing a known abortionist. That makes sense?

You are unlikely to get rid of abortion by catering to those who are pro-abortion. Romney has a track record. obama has the same track record.

Both of them are acolytes of the anti-christ, as are you.

No doubt you are of the belief this is merely bio-waste.

Sorry, real human beings consider the subject matter much differently than the carrion eaters do.

There's an old saying that when you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas.

The sophistries of the left disgust me!

I agree.

This is the left wing meme of the day, you will have “moderate” friends tell you about this and suggest a third party vote, because they know how much you care.

What you have posted is a perfect example of left wing sophistry - and you're soaking in it!

Here's my advice: Start canvassing neighborhoods and start supporting a Conservative like Virgil Goode. Do it now.

Hoist by his own snark!

Great response Sirius Lee.

Not surprising that the Mittbot team is totally infiltrated by leftwingtards.

I’m not sure which I hate more, Romney’s making merchandise of the murder of thousands of helpless, innocent little boys and girls, or his supporters’ reaction to it.

This is the all-time worst thread I’ve ever seen on FreeRepublic.com. The reactions/posts by Romney Republicans are thoroughly despicable.

As bad as Obama is, he doesn’t have the power to completely de-moralize those who call themselves “conservatives.”

It becomes more apparent every day that Romney does have that power.

Ummm, maybe because it is true. Besides, why would Romney forgo the delicious $$$ (the only known god of the GOP-E)? Did elite Dewhurst get a piece of the action too???

As Romney might say privately: "What's the fuss? They were just unborn peasants who had to be disposed of. It was just good business and, in our circles, good politics! But, shhh, don't let the gullible peasants know what we are up to. Tell the dopes that I changed to pro-life in 2004. Hohohohoho!!!"

Etch-a-Sketch! Etch-a-Sketch! Dance to the muuuusic!!!

When Romney Republicans say “human capital” we now know that they mean it quite literally.
