The general-election contest between California Sen. Barbara Boxer and Carly Fiorina has just begun, but even in a year when voters’ main concern is the economy, it’s already shaping up to be a potentially vicious battle over abortion rights.
Though Boxer has long been the champion of abortion-rights groups, Fiorina has said she supports overturning Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion. And her endorsements by prominent anti-abortion groups, including the California ProLife Council and the Susan B. Anthony List, helped solidify her credentials as a conservative during the primary contest.
Fiorina’s position puts her at odds with the majority of California voters. Last year, two-thirds of Californians said they opposed overturning Roe vs. Wade, according to a poll by the Public Policy Institute of California. Among independents — who would be critical to Fiorina’s bid to defeat Boxer since Democrats outnumber Republicans in California — only 28% said they favored completely overturning the 1973 decision.

I think you know better than that. You are not going to get any better with both candidates. They will both vote to destroy America.
Get real. No; but you have got two candidates who will continue to vote for the destruction of America.
Keep burying your head in the sand and watch America go down the toilet.
I think you are living on a planet where facts do not survive.
BUMP!
Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Is this a fair assessment?
Of course you do. That doesn’t mean you are right.
Sen. Santorum: But I would like to ask you a question. You agree, once that child is born, is separated from the mother, that that child is protected by the Constitution and cannot be killed? Do you agree with that?
Sen. Boxer: I would make this statement: That this Constitution, as it currently is -- some of you want to amend it to say that life begins at conception. I think when you bring your baby home, when your baby is born -- and there is no such thing as partial-birth -- the baby belongs to your family and has all the rights. But I am not willing to amend the Constitution to say that a fetus is a person, which I know you would.
I had to put up with that kind of electoral choice for 50 years (ok, 38, I was too young before). I got sick of it, about as sick of it as you appear to be.
So, I moved. Only thing that stopped me was the Atlantic Ocean.
One need look no further than the (expletive) in the White House to see that. McCain wasn't conservative enough for many on the right, so they stayed home November 2009. I hope Obama is proving to be conservative enough for them.
Has it ever looked more asinine than here, though?
Fiorina is being attached by pro-abort extremist Boxer, because Fiorina favors overturning Roe v. Wade - and folks like the kittyperson STAND WITH BOXER, saying, “Yeah, I don’t like her, either.”
Because they’re, you know, so PURE.
pfsh
How could the Republicans nominate a person who actually could win rather than some “purist” acceptable to you who would get 2% of the vote and leave that loathsome witch in office?
Just run along raving at the moon with the other 2%ers. Practical voters are tired of listening.
This is not about being one of your oh so clever words purist in this case. This is about who is right for the job. At this rate; the US should give up all its freedom in a short matter of time.
Btw, you are not electing who can win; only status quo. You know the ones that will vote socialist, communist (choose your own clever word instead of reversing this nightmare.
Why are you on this site if you don’t care about real change for the good?
Yes.
Thanks for your reply.
Real change for good is basically anything which gets rid of Barbara Boxer whom anyone here can tell you is a cancer on this society. Pulling a random person off the street would be a step up over Boxer.
Were those words simple enough for you or do I have to grunt?
"BarbBoxer sez "greatest security threat" is WEATHER.Not nukes,or unsustainable debt leading 2 insolvency? Silly Senator,glad theres competition"
