I Wonder What Bart Stupak’s Donors Think About Financing Anti-Abortion Activists?

[Are_grits_groceries]

If Planned Parenthood and NARAL are just going to lie down and let access to reproductive health legislation to be written by Catholic bishops, I guess they think that’s in the best interest of the women who donate to their respective organizations.

But I wonder if Bart Stupak’s donors want to be associated with his anti-choice activism? Many PACS that donated to Stupak this year have a pretty heavy investment in consumer branding that appeals to women:

AFLAC PAC (certainly benefit if women decide to buy private insurance rather than a public plan)
AMAZON CORPORATE LLC SEPARATE SEGREGATED FUND (AMAZON.COM PAC)
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR JUSTICE POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (AAJ PAC)
AMERICAN HEALTH CARE ASSOCIATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE
BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD OF MICHIGAN PAC (also stands to benefit from women clients)
COMCAST CORPORATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE- FEDERAL (ladies, you have cable, yes?)
DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY EMPLOYEES PAC (DOWPAC), THE
FORD MOTOR COMPANY CIVIC ACTION FUND (Ford: Designed For “Pro-Life”)
GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (GEPAC)
GODADDY.COM INC., PAC
HERBALIFE INTERNATIONAL INC. POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (AKA HERBALIFEPAC)
HOME DEPOT INC. POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE, THE
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE
HUMANA INC. POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (and another….)
JOHN HANCOCK FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC FEDERAL POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE
RITE AID CORPORATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE
SIEMENS CORPORATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE
SPRINT NEXTEL CORPORATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE
T-MOBILE USA, INC. POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (T-PAC)
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE INC. PAC
VERIZON COMMUNICATION INC. GOOD GOVT CLUB
WELLS FARGO AND COMPANY EMPLOYEE PAC (AKA WELLS FARGO EMPLOYEE PAC)

Gosh an awful lot more brand names want to be associated with funding a huge right-wing encroachment on the reproductive rights of women than I imagined. I would have thought they’d want to avoid the brand damage that can come from that kind of thing, but that’s me.

I wonder what they would think about a brazillion calls about the abortion amandment that he backed that is so punitive.
