Romney Invested in Medical-Waste Firm That Disposed of Aborted Fetuses, Government Documents Show

And these documents challenge Romney's claim that he left Bain Capital in early 1999.
SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    While Democrats assail presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's Bain Capital business practices, Republicans note that President Obama has not been bashful about accepting cash from Bain executives or other high-profile figures in the corporate buyout business.

    "President Obama has based his entire reelection campaign on a vicious, dishonest assault on Mitt Romney's business career. The real question for President Obama is this: if Bain Capital is so bad, why have you taken nearly $120,000 in donations from them?" said Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul. "President Obama's actions are the height of hypocrisy."

    Its pretty funny that Obama is bashing Bain capital but that hypocrite doesn't have a problem taking money from them for his reelection campaign.

    There's a big difference from a candidate receiving Corporate donations then Romney having ownership in that same company that aborts fetuses.

    A more important question would be Why would Bain Capital contribute to Obama's campaign?

    Hell, it's not surprising considering the way Romney turned on John McCain's wife. If Romney is willing to sellout his friend, supporter and fellow Party member -by throwing his wife under the bus just because they didn't pick him as a running mate- what does that say about Romney's integrity or loyalty to the Republican Party?

    The point is that Romney claims he's anti-abortion while investing in an industry that disposes of aborted fetuses and you want to cry hypocrisy.

    You do know that Stericycle takes all medical waste and even other haz waste I believe? Do you know what that means? It's hardly like they solely took fetuses. Heck we use them at my plant for the mall amount of biohazard waste we have.

    By the way, this is why talking points are ruining the country. Well done for buying in.

    I know full well what medical waste facilities are permitted to and not permitted to dispose of, depending on their level of certification.

    Is your Plant running for President of the United States? Is your Plant advocating that women must bare a child regardless of how it was conceived?

    Let's not play twister – because abortion is the only topic that Romney has laid out about his platform and it is not as if Romney didn't know about Stericycle's disposal of aborted fetuses before he invested in the company because Stericycle has a facility in Massachusetts.

    Wow, you have really bought into the bullshit hook, line, and sinker havent you? I guess you care more about owning stericycle than say....jobs, health care, foreign policy, entitlements, government spending.... Exactly where on your priority list does this bullshit land?

    Damn, I forgot, discussing issues that impact ALL females of this country is a no, no. Yet, the laws impacting females keep getting passed. So, excuse me for not towing the Republican party line that women are just suppose to lay down, take it and bare it.

    You want bullshit -

    Tell me something, do you think that a rapist sitting in jail on your tax dollar is going to be paying child support and health care benefits?

    What impact do you think Romney's policy will have on the entitlement spending and jobs? What impact do see on the economy with people being forced to have six and seven children, when the cost of living is going up, jobs are paying less in salaries and benefits, meaning more is coming out of pocket? Hell, do you even know what it costs for day care these days? Maybe you should check the statistics on households married, divorced, or single of working women.

    You want hook, line and sinker – well here's a reality check

    It's not about welfare moms – the working women of America would be impacted far greater by Romney's policy on abortions and the repel of health care,

    I don't know where you think this so called bullshit lands, but it lands right at the door step of America's female population now and for future generations.

    So now you want to talk about the issue of abortion instead of the bullshit notion about a company doing business with a medical waste disposal company that happens to also dispose of aborted fetuses? Looks like we are making progress.

    Yep, well aware of daycare costs. Also well aware that you can go through life, have sex, and not have a kid. Some people are even able to use over the counter items to prevent a pregnancy until they plan it. I know, crazy right? ;)

    I especially love the "people being forced to have six and seven children" part. I soon as I read that I knew we didn't actually have anything to discuss here. But at least you are trying to talk the issue now instead of the bullshit you used to get there.

    Don’t play coy with me, you immediately connected the dots, that’s why you kept downplaying the topic with your feeble jabs. That old –consider the source and not the facts- don’t work with me, but that seems to be the standard practice, go after the poster instead of the issue, so that issue will fade away.

    How sad on your part – regardless of the candidate – that you could be so easily dismissive of a policy [any policy] relative to women without using some of the intellect you have shown in various other posting, especially, considering your signoff. Shame on you!

    I'm confused by you.

    #1) I think going after Romney because a company he worked for invested in another company that a small part of their business was to dispose of destroyed fetuses is really stupid. Just my opinion.

    #2) If you wanted this to be about abortion, just say so. Instead you made it about Bain investing in Stericycle.

    #3) I happen to believe abortion is killing a child. I do not agree with abstinence only teaching, etc. 50% of those killed are baby girls, so I think I do care about "women's issues".

    1.Romney doesn’t work for Bain it is his company. A company in which he’s the decision maker (CEO), the name on the legal documents.

    2.Romney has stated that he is anti-abortion. He wants to get rid of Planned Parenthood issues, in conflict, with his dealings with Stericycle. In the same breath, he states he wants to repel the Affordable Health Care Act, another policy statement in conflict of a prior action. No, I’m not interested in discussing the pros and cons of abortions. I’m more concerned about his growing Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde image.

    3.I don’t care what your abortion stance is, nor should you care about where I stand on the issue. It’s about being able to lay out found facts and information, in order to make our own individual decisions.
