Advocates Shun ‘Pro-Choice’ to Expand Message

In this midterm election season, women’s groups like Planned Parenthood are shifting their language to reflect a range of health and economic issues that include abortion.
Their problem is that "Pro Choice" has become synonymous with "Pro Abortion."   If they talk about abortion they turn off a lot of voters so they have taken to hiding their agenda with bogus claims about women's health as an excuse for abortion.  The fact is that most abortions have little to nothing to do with the woman's health and a lot to do with the inconvenience of having a baby.  They have also made disingenuous claims about "access" to birth control.  They seem to be willing to say almost anything to avoid having a honest conversation about their agenda.   If they did they fear they would lose support.

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
