Despite similar record on abortion, Pro-Life group attacks Obama in Indiana but not Clinton

[frickaline]

The anti-choice group National Right to Life has launched a series of robocalls urging people in Indiana to "vote against Barack Obama" in Tuesday's primary. Here's the script of the call (or listen to audio):

'Hello, this is National Right to Life PAC, asking you to vote against Barack Obama in tomorrow's primary election.

Barack Obama has said that his first act as President would be to sign the Freedom of Choice Act, which would enshrine abortion on demand into federal law and would require tax funding of abortion. This bill would legalize partial birth abortion again.

Barack Obama even voted against saving the lives of babies who survive late term abortion.

You can vote in either party's primary. If you vote in the Democratic primary, please do not vote for Barack Obama.'

A bit weird, don't you think?

1. They're rethugs who want to run against Clinton. Too bad some

people are so stupid they will fall for this.

2. They assume he is the nominee...if Clinton was in the lead

I suspect they would be on her. This sounds par for the course for anti-abortion groups

3. Clinton is the preferred Democratic candidate for the GOP

So this fits.

5. Its not why they are doing it thats weird, its the fact that they believe this could be convincing

Attacking Obama over Clinton on woman's issue? That's the biggest spin I've heard yet.

[Adelante]

6. Clinton herself attacked Obama on women's issues

Completely misrepresenting his positions. They have something in common.

4. I did see a nutjob here in Durham

Standing on a street corner (corner of Roxboro and Club, if you happen to know the area) with a sign saying something like "Hillary (Jezebel) supports abortion." This guy gave off a real tinfoil hat vibe, a real moran, but at least he made no spelling errors on his sign. He probably didn't even understand that this is the primary, and that Obama is also pro-choice.

Not really sure what his point was, but I'm pretty sure that, no matter who we nominate, that guy's not going to vote Democratic anyway.

7. maybe he should talk to this group to get his "Pro-lifer's for Hillary" sign
