Clinton Releases Letter Attacking Obama's Abortion Votes

This afternoon Hillary Clinton's campaign released a letter from a group New Hampshire pro-choice activists urging pro-choice voters to vote for Senator Clinton because "The difference between Hillary's repeatedly standing up strong on choice and Obama's unwillingness to vote "yes" or "no" is a clear contrast, and we believe the voters in New Hampshire deserve to know this difference."

According to the letter "as a State Senator, Senator Obama voted "present" - instead of "yes" or "no" - seven times on issues related to protecting a women's right to choose. Illinois NOW cited Obama's "present" votes on tough choice issues in the Illinois State Legislature when explaining why they would not endorse him. The difference between Hillary's repeatedly standing up strong on choice and Obama's unwillingness to vote "yes" or "no" is a clear contrast, and we believe the voters in New Hampshire deserve to know this difference."

Planned Parenthood has already responded by reminding everyone that Barack Obama received a 100% rating for his support of a woman's right to choose. Furthermore, journalists have already explained the oddity that are present-votes in the Illinois State Senate, which are a common but little-known practice. Hillary also has dropped another mailer tonight which is, like the previous one, utter distortion. http://tpmelectioncentral.com/2008/01/on_eve_of_primary_hillary_drops_negative_mailer_hitting_obama_on_taxes.php
