Here's his statement  Wonder if all the "but the babies' crowd will ever feel gullible? Do they have any inkling of how they've been manipulated by the power brokers to usher in better policies for the wealthiest by getting their buttons pushed on the "culture wars". Or if this too will be explained away by the "family values" crowd? Update: Sorry, it was a Slate link, which I normally trust. Replacing it w/Newsweek. www.newsweek.com/broidy-cohen-playboy-trump-gop-885755 |

"It is unfortunate that this personal matter between two consenting adults is subject to national discussion ..."
What a load of bullshit. You are a chair of the RNC. A major factor in your platform is abortion. Of course this is a matter of national discussion you dumb ass hypocrite.
If you were so worried about keeping such matters private you wouldn't be trying to interfere between a woman and her Doctor.
The hypocrisy slays me. Time and time again.

These people are slime.
Ronna Romney McDaniel (RNC chair) dropped the Romney from her name because it displeased the new king.
Trash.

Who's Broidy? "The Times has also reported that Broidy boasted of his Trump connections to prospective clients, including foreign governments and politicians, suggesting he could arrange meetings with the president, his staff and members of Congress. As he sought business contracts, according to the Times, Broidy offered tickets to VIP inauguration events to a Congolese strongman, helped arrange a meeting with Republican senators, offered a trip to Mar-a-Lago to an Angolan politician, and arranged for a Romanian parliamentarian to attend a party at Trump’s Washington hotel — where the Romanian politician reported meeting the president and receiving a commitment for closer ties between Romania and the U.S." www.propublica.org/article/elliott-broidy-sessions-turned-to-convicted-fundraiser-for-advice-on-attorneys |

So terribly sad..
They don't have enough honor, integrity, or discipline to:
1) Honor their Marriage/Committed relationship
2) Won't keep their penis in their pants, but the mistress gets called the homewrecker.
3) Doesn't wear a condom every damned time for protection, but relies on the woman handle birth control
4) Campaigns to reduce funding for sexual health
5) Support legislation to reduce access to clinics
6) At best pay for women to Canada or Mexico if Roe vs Wade was to EVER be overturned.
7) At worse would pay for a backroom abortion for their mistresses (and their knocked up daughters)
8) Then judges the poor and claims they are unable to make sound reproduction decisions.
Makes me sick to my stomach..

When I was in school long long ago thee 'rich' kids flew to where it was legal or their friend's father who was a doctor took care of it or even other doctors. As we well know $$$$ count and help as needed. I grew up in the time of back alley procedures where young women died! |

RNC finance official resigns after acknowledging payment to Playboy modelBY BEN KAMISAR - 04/13/18 02:51 PM EDT * Sources familiar with the discussions confirmed to The Hill that RNC chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel accepted Broidy's resignation Friday from his post as the RNC's deputy finance chairman. The Wall Street Journal first reported his resignation. ** Broidy confirmed the affair to the Journal and admitted that he "offered to help her financially" after she told him "she did not want to continue with the pregnancy."

I just think it's funny that he says a matter between two consenting adults shouldn't be up for public discussion. Are we allowed to use that phrase back at him?

I'll say it: This all makes me uncomfortable.
I think it stinks that a very private decision about a legal abortion is news. And it especially stinks for the woman, who is not a public figure.
Yeah, yeah, I understand the hypocrisy. This man represents the Republican Party; they can be insufferably holier-than-thou about lifestyle issues; they actively fundraiser and legislate to throw up roadblocks to legal abortions.
But plenty of Republicans get abortions. Plenty. Just like plenty of pro-life Catholic voters I know vote for pro-choice Democrats. There are no rules.
I guess my worry, beyond the hypocrisy, is that many people will view the abortion itself - or the man helping to pay - as the scandal. I don't want to see any increase in abortion "gotcha" stories," especially considering that opposing abortion is a single issue for many voters. This could get really ugly.

As we well know $$$$ count and help as needed. I grew up in the time of back alley procedures where young women died! I was born in 1969 so I was not old enough to have personal knowledge. But I know this is what people did. Also back then they could go to a different state if needed. The situation would be worse now. Those that can afford it would go to another country for privacy. And MORE women would die due to back alley /black market abortions. The maternal mortality rate in Texas is that of a 3rd world country. And it's all the woman's fault for not keeping her legs closed. Men never suffer the same consequences. I never ever want to see that happen. None of us should ever want that. We should want to do everything possible to prevent the need for abortions. |

I wouldn't care at all if this was Joe Blow. But these are people whose mission it is to outlaw abortion, so it's very much in the public's interest if they participate in behavior that they would legally proscribe for others. We're not just talking about banning abortion, but consider Kevin Williamson's recent remarks that women who get abortions should be executed. He's not some kook outlier, either. He's a respected conservative writer, defended by mainstream conservatives. So yeah, in light of that: this is very very much our business. |

or the man helping to pay - as the scandal The politicians who pay and then pass legislation against the public's choice is the scandal! But when they make A CENTRAL TENET OF THEIR PLATFORM THE DENIAL OF ABORTION FOR OTHERS, they're going to get called on it every freaking time - at least by me. That's it! I have said before they are pro-birth. Once there is a birth they choose not to help when it is needed. No Medical coverage. Cut food stamps, cut welfare, cut housing $$. I am not pro-abortion, I am pro-choice. |

And I support unencumbered legal and safe abortion if chosen. (ETA: I mistakenly wrote "free" instead of "legal.") I just have some niggling regrets about this woman's privacy and possible "outing" of abortion in the future, REGARDLESS of the woman's/couple's ideology or any presence of rhetoric hypocrisy. For many, many people, it will be the medical procedure that is the transgression in this story, not the hypocrisy. I just don't want us to go down that Scarlet A (bortion) road as a culture. My discomfort is just mine. Y'all do you. |

Women shouldn't be shamed in general and I can see the concern for it starting a wave of outing them as you said. At the same time, the hypocrisy needs to be called out. Loudly. It's a mess for sure. |
