DPVA supports partial birth abortion?
By JR Hoeft | Friday, August 14th, 2009 | PoliticsSo, the DPVA spent another day yesterday talking about abortion instead of jobs. They attacked McDonnell’s career in the legislature by pointing to the votes he cast related to the abortion issue:
“Delegate McDonnell sponsored or co-sponsored bills every year he was in the legislature to restrict a women’s right to choose. Anti-choice legislation was, in fact, SUCH a priority to Bob that he was a player in 35 pieces of legislation. And, as Attorney General he defended anti-choice laws all the way to the Supreme Court.”
Never mind the fact that McDonnell spent 14 years in the legislature, so the bills they refer to amount to just over two a year – a very small percentage – compared to the literally thousands of bills consindered every session.
Never mind that he was a prolific legislator, sponsoring or co-sponsoring hundreds of bills over his legislative career, with a vast majority of those bills related to public safety, jobs, and the economy.
Never mind that some of the legislation they’re referring to is banning the barbaric practice of partial-birth abortion – a very mainstream position that a majority of Virginians support.
No. Never mind that at all because it really doesn’t matter.
Remember only this: The Democrats have yet again shown failure in leadership.
While Virginians are suffering, they cater to their special interest groups. While Virginians face double-digit unemployement, they want to to increase unemployment more through “cap-and-trade”. While Virginians struggle with transportation, they have offered no transportation plan. While the state government faces budget deficit after budget deficit, they overestimate state revenues and prefer to raise taxes.
Can the difference between which candidate is more serious about leading Virginia be any more obvious? Can the differences between the political parties be more stark?

Was that DPVA statement from a press release? If not, was it published on the web somewhere?
Trying to figure out where they are releasing these statements.
Thanks.
It was a release.

Planned Parenthood sure is scared to lose their taxpayer subsidy from the Commonwealth…
Based on your “Never mind….” replies following the press release quote you provided, it sounds like the DPVA quote is quite accurate.
Foobar,
Eh? I think you missed the point.
35 bills compared to the hundreds McDonnell’s submitted is minuscule and nitpicky by the DPVA. And, as I said, many of those bills related to partial birth.
I guess you support partial birth abortion too.
I still love how they always talk about the “right to choose” but never mention the word about what they want to be “chosen”
They aren’t interested in the “right to choose” adoption or the “right to choose” parenthood or even the “right to choose” a child’s school.
It’s like there is only one thing they always want women to choose?
I wonder if they support the “right to choose” your healthcare?
“Save the whales (or the dogs); Abort the baby” – Liberal mantra
The folks at Planned Parenthood want women to “choose,” they want women to choose to have an abortion, so the Planned Parenthood makes money from the operation.
It should not surprise us that Planned Parenthood engages in such policies as building their clinics near high schools in order to maximize business. Or the fact that they have been caught in the act of covering up statuatory rape.
Remember folks, Creigh Deeds has been locking arms with these people for much of his career.
