Oh, Claire. Really?
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill recently put out a new radio ad in which she claimed to be "fighting against abortion."
Her voting record over the last ten years suggests that her methods for "fighting against abortion" might need some work. For example, she voted against defunding Planned Parenthood and against diverting federal funding away from groups that either encourage or perform abortions. She voted against an amendment that would have prevented U.S. foreign aid money from being used to fund coercive abortions in nations like China. She even voted against an amendment that would have helped prevent minors from crossing state lines to obtain abortions in order to avoid parental consent laws in their own states.
So if you're Claire McCaskill, "fighting against abortion" means doing everything in your power to make sure that it's accessible, legal, and federally funded.
Claire: next time you do a radio spot, let me help you out. I have a dictionary and a thesaurus you can borrow. Heck, you can keep it. You obviously need it more than I do.
