Clinton: I'm More Pro-Choice than Obama

Tuesday January 8, 2008

Categories: Hillary Clinton

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.

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.

About God-o-Meter

This blog is no longer updated and is closed for comments. We welcome your comments about politics in our Politics forums.

The God-o-Meter (pronounced Gah-DOM-meter) scientifically measures factors such as rate of God-talk, effectiveness—saying God wants a capital gains tax cut doesn't guarantee a high rating—and other top-secret criteria (Actually, the adjustment criteria are here). Click a candidate's head to get his or her latest God-o-Meter reading and blog post. And check back often. With so much happening on the campaign trail, God-o-Meter is constantly recalibrating!
