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 suppose the point flew right over your head.
Are slaves people or property? Are children people only after delivery, or moments, days, weeks before?
Carly or Barbara?
Very little does but nice try. Your
“point” is pathetically lame. One has to start somewhere and getting rid of BB would be a GREAT start.
Anything else is a vote for Boxer and the Obama agenda.Yes.
So you'd rather have babs boxer remain in the senate and ALL that she has seen fit to do to this country. Get off of the catnip kitty.
Oh stop it. You know exactly what I mean. We are suppose to be electing conservatives; not more RINOS. RINOS vote with the Rats.
Amen.
CA had a golden opportunity when they threw Davis out and what did you elect, Arnie; just because he could win.
How’s that working out for you?
The primary is over and apparently you don't like Carlie - fine then you had BETTER realize that she will be a VAST improvement over babs. Even Reagan changed his views on abortion over time, so get a grip - not a gripe, babs is a risk to the physical security of this country and its peoples.
Keep telling yourself that as you sink into the ocean.
Carly is no Reagan.
While I am not from California and had no vote, it is obvious to those who care to think that Arnie won because his opponents could not convince enough voters to vote for them. The Golden Boy of the Right was easily crushed as those on the Fringe are REGULARLY across the nation in election after election after election.
How many “conservatives” are there in the Senate? Or House?
Conservatives cannot win a statewide office in more than a HANDFUL of states. It is a FACT whether we like it or not.
Then I will say you don’t really want a conservative.
The conservatives are not there because they are not allowed to be there. We would not have gotten McCain as the nominee if they were.
You would say wrong.
Pretty funny stuff there. “...not allowed...” hilarious.
Is there any reason you are on FR?
Well spoken from a Barbara Boxer supporter. You are most enlightening kitty.
And neither are you. Don't get lost in thought; you'll be a total stranger there.
