Fiorina and Boxer spar over abortion
LA Times ^ | 6/9/2010 | Maeve Reston

Posted on 06/10/2010 9:37:35 AM PDT by markomalley

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.

Look, you aren’t worth talking to with your stupid insults. You have all the makings of a troll; so why don’t you leave. You have decided who I am without asking one intelligent question or even thinking one intelligent thought so get lost troll.

I bet you work for Barbara or do you just like to harass?

Oh, I see. I have read your posts on other threads. You are a RINO. That’s worse than a lefty.

What crackpots like you call “RINO” are those people who actually understand how politics work and don’t care what tiny minorities who “think” like you want.

If you are not a leftist plant you certainly do the work of one. No one takes people like you seriously so it really doesn’t matter much.

Once again you refuse to address the truths I point out. But that is what is expected from a fraud.

Who was the one who started with the name calling? YOU.

Who refuses to address the points which I made? YOU.

Why should I leave when there are stupid comments to refute?

Yeah, sure I work for Barbara that is why I say voters must support her opponent. UNLIKE you who would be happy to see BB returned to the Senate.

So shut up if I am not “worth talking too.”

You will note that this troll never addresses any of the points the sensible people raise.

Yes, it does. Whether she is too obtuse to figure it out is a different question.

Carly would be wise to say that, as a Senator, she will vote to protect and preserve innocent life whenever the issues arises, but that the election is really about the problems created in California by Bab's failed liberal policies.

Brilliant political advice, I do hope either she or those around her have this light bulb come on overhead.

A real RINO is someone who rarely agrees with the party’s candidates and who refuses to support the duely nominated nominees of the party.

Your mewing is just so darn cute. But you really can’t play with the big cats.
