Over at Daily Kos, Kaili Joy Gray makes some hay with Romney’s health care hypocrisy, noting that if he’s such a pro-life conservative, why does Romneycare cover abortion?

Rep. Chris Smith, the Rapist’s Friend, Doesn’t Want to Talk About Rape

Sarah Palin really IS Serena Joy.
Palin Helped Block Clinic Access
Palin wasn’t only banning books: she was actively trying to shut down clinics that provide abortions in Alaska, according to a fellow evangelical who clashed with her:
Soon after the book controversy, Bess found himself again at odds with Palin and her fellow evangelicals. In 1996, evangelical churches mounted a vigorous campaign to take over [...]
Palin, Rape Kits and Abortion
John Aravosis has a question:
