I think it would be very helpfull if candidates published their positions on these "controversial" issues on their websites.. that way we are not caught off guard when the don't vote the same way we thought they would based off some speech they made... many people say they are "pro-life" but when it comes down to it they will vote to aboloish abortion.. that is NOT pro-life that is pro-political-corectness..

" Nader is not the only person on the receiving end of pro-abortion criticism. Abortion advocates have joined the effort to cast dispersions on the credibility of Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris.

Harris was one of Florida's prized converts on the issue of abortion by recently converting to the pro-life perspective. Prior to becoming Secretary of State, during a campaign for state senator, Harris ran as a "pro-choice" Republican, but became pro-life while serving in the state legislature.

After becoming pro-life, she supported an override to former Gov. Lawton Chiles' (D) veto of a "partial-birth" abortion ban and sponsored  parental consent legislation in the Florida legislature. In addition, as secretary of state, Harris voted to approve Florida's "Choose Life" license plates. Florida Right to Life has given her perfect marks since her change of heart. " lifecorner.org

I can't find the stuff from the Debate but Hill was "pro-choice" till trimester 3, Katherine was "anti-abortion" opposed PBA, and favored PN except in cases of incest... it was classic media bias. Harris "anti-abortion" and Hill "pro-choice."

I checked opensecrets and Katherine's gotten $2,511 from pro-life pacs.
