HCR = Romneycare - abortion coverage.. Romneycare covers abortions..
Interesting and illuminating that a Republican health care reform plan championed by Mitt Romney has more respect for women's health than a Democratic plan championed by Barack Obama.

Mitt Romney's role in overseeing passage of a universal health care plan in Massachusetts appears likely to cause headaches for the former Republican governor should he make his widely-expected run for the White House in 2012.

As Matt Yglesias noted Sunday, all of the government-subsidized health care plans offered to low-income Massachusetts residents, under a program called Commonwealth Care, cover abortion.

1. Romney is screwed for 2012 if HCR remains a big Repub issue.
