The charge against Scott Brown made above is a follow up to the one the Democrats in Massachusetts are making today in a mailer:
"1736 WOMEN WERE RAPED IN MASSACHUSETTS IN 2008.
SCOTT BROWN WANTS HOSPITALS TO TURN THEM ALL AWAY."
The justification for this outrageously exaggerated, and deliberately falsified charge is that Brown voted for a provision that would allow hospital workers not to inform rape victims of the availability of the "Morning After" pill if their religious convictions prevented them from doing so. Not exactly - or even remotely similar to - "turning away" rape victims from hospitals but hey! Who's keeping track, right?

1736 WOMEN WERE RAPED IN MASSACHUSETTS IN 2008.”
736 women should have had weapons training and a .38 Snubby.
edit: 1736
this outrageously exaggerated, and deliberately falsified charge Oh, stop worrying about it. The idea that someone running for public office, someone who has already been elected to public office, wants hospitals to turn away rape victims is so far-fetched, so over-the-top, so obviously a desperate attempt to garner votes from truly stupid people, that most voters are insulted that a candidate would try to sell them such a crock. If Coakley loses by double digits, this ad could be why. Treating voters like idiots is never a good idea. |
