Clinton: I’m More Pro-Choice than Obama

posted by dgilgoff | 8:30am Tuesday January 8, 2008

hillary2.jpgThe Clinton campaign has sent mailers in New Hampshire claiming that the New York Senator is more pro-choice than Barack Obama:

In a recent mailing to voters in New Hampshire, Hillary criticizes Obama for voting “present” instead of in favor of pro-abortion legislature on seven occasions. The mailer claims Clinton is a person who will “stand up for women’s right to choose.”
….Obama responded to Hillary’s mailer with an automated call, a procedure that the Clinton campaign has cried foul over, claiming automated calls are illegal in presidential primaries.

This may help Clinton with the pro-choice voters, reinforcing Clinton’s “experience and record over hope” line, but it will lower her God-o-Meter rating.

More Innacurate Faith Storylines From the Media
God-o-Meter is struck by the number of faith-based storylines the news media appear to have gotten dead wrong this year.

I agree with Hillary; Women should have the right to choose because they’re the ones that have to live with their decision from the day they make. As for me I wouldn’t choose abortion I’ll choose adoption because their are families that are waiting for a child. But I’m saying that’s right for me. It isn’t up no one else to make that decision for me. Like any decision we make in our lives it’s between us & our Maker & no one else.

Amen Annie!! Just because a candidate is pro-choice doesn’t make them pro-abortion. The right to choose should lie with the individual, not government.
