Planned Parenthood's Scorecard on McCain and Obama Re Reproductive Rights
Edited on Fri Jul-18-08 11:44 AM by Median Democrat
There have been a disproportionate amount of posts regarding PUMA activities and a lot being made about John McCain surrogate Carly Fiorina courting Hillary supporters, and lying to them in the process regarding McCain's record and positions. My take is that news organizations like the WSJ tend to overstate the size and scope of Hillary supporters and women's right activists who are supporting John McCain. For example, another thread "TOP CLINTON DONORS MEET WITH MCCAIN CAMPAIGN" on this board cites to the WSJ. However, the article only disclosed three named "top donors," and one of the top donors (Glasscock)listed had only given $500.00 to Hillary. $500.00 is a Hillary Clinton "top donor"? Of course not. The WSJ article is a fraud.

So, getting back to the actual issues, rather than spin and speculation, here is Planned Parenthood's congressional scorecard. Any questions?
