He does it again!?

Once again, there he goes misrepresenting the positions of other people. Is this some kind of twisted fixation or what?

This week, he states "Toomey is something of a standard-bearer for those who want to see abortion outlawed entirely, and he told Matthews as much."

However, according to:

http://www.issues2002.org/PA/Pat_Toomey_Abortion.htm

Pat Toomey voted "yes" on banning partial-birth abortion except to save mother’s life. That was called the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003.

Now, you just can't have it both ways. Either he wants it outlawed "entirely", or he wants it outlawed except to save the life of the mother.

This article clearly states Toomey's position is not what Gil implies it is.

Toomey casts himself as a staunch opponent of abortion rights - a reversal from his stand when he first ran for his House seat in 1998. He would only allow abortion in the case of rape, incest, or if the mother's life was in danger. Specter, meanwhile, is a longtime supporter of abortion rights.


Got it wrong again.
