Dede Scozzafava, a pro-choice Republican congressional candidate, called the police on the Weekly Standard’s John McCormack after he asked her a couple of questions including her position on health care reform bills which fund abortion. The Scozzafa campaign originally claimed that McCormack yelled at Scozzafava but have now retracted that statement after audio recordings proved otherwise….
The Washington Times has an editorial calling on John Boehner, Newt Gingrich and the National Republican Committee to withdraw their support from Scozzafava based on her actions.
The RH Reality Check blog has posted a piece by Susan Cohen which attempts to defend the recent Guttmacher “study” on worldwide abortion. Nowhere in the piece does Cohen even attempt to respond to the main criticism of the study – that the numbers of annual abortions in countries where abortion is illegal or highly restricted are concocted statistics based on the dubious guesswork of abortion advocates.
Wesley Smith writes in the National Review about “an end-of-life protocol known as the Liverpool Care Pathway“:
The Pathway’s guidelines instruct doctors to put patients thought to be near death into a drug-induced coma, after which all food and fluids, as well as medical treatments such as antibiotics, are withdrawn until death….
Angry family members are beginning to come forward, charging that their loved ones have been sedated and had food and water withdrawn — whether their symptoms warranted these measures or not. Indeed, some have alleged that their deceased relatives would have lived but for having been put on the Pathway to death. These stories have all the early hallmarks of a full-fledged medical scandal.

The NY 23 congressional election is becoming national news, due to the fact Dede Scozzafava, the “republican” candidate, is more liberal than the Democrat, and the GOP threw Doug Hoffman under the bus and picked her instead.
So Hoffman is running as the conservative candidate. He is both fiscally and socially conservative, and pro life. He deserves to win, and the way Dede Scozzafava’s campaign is imploding it’s entirely possible he will win.
I read Michelle Malkin’s blog daily and she’s got lots more information there.
And Dede has something in common with Hillary Clinton. Both won the Margaret Sanger award.
Shame on Newt and other “republicans” for supporting this radical.
This is disgusting. What is the republican party coming to? “Pro-choice Republican” should be an oxymoron. Newt Gingrich is a joke.
During the video below, when Dede receives an award (the name of the award isn’t mentioned), she mentions she had been on the board of Planned Parenthood at one time. FYI, Doug Hoffman, one of her opponents, is pro-life. Mark Levin had Hoffman on his program and he sounds like a decent guy, with conservative values.

Joanne, do you know what year she won the Sanger Award? I haven’t been able to find that information on line.
The reason the GOP is supporting the not-even-trying-to-pretend-to-be-conservative-Republican is because they’re infatuated with the idea of a big tent.
If we just reach out and become liberals, everythign will be ok? Right?
I’ll tell them right now, I will not vote for a pro-choice politician. I don’t want people who support slaughtering children in my tent.
Janet,
Not sure what year, only know she got the “award” from reading Michelle Malkin.

From what I have been reading, the Democrat is not as liberal as Dede is. Although I believe he is pro abort.
Oh, and Planned Barrenhood gave to her campaign. With this and the “award” I would say she’s probably like Barry when it comes to abortion….. anything is fine by her.
Hi from upstate NY!
Bill Owens, the Dems’ candidate in the 23rd, is about neck and neck with Dede Scozzafava for liberal views–although he supports civil unions rather than same-sex marriage, which puts him a half-turn more conservative than Dede on that one issue.
Yes, Owens identifies as pro-choice. Doug Hoffman’s latest campaign ad (here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo9_7UvqGzI&feature=player_embedded) portrays Owens and Scozzafava as two peas in a liberal pod. Hoffman has been on Glenn Beck, and the race has also been mentioned by Limbaugh and Hannity in recent days. Very exciting to see a pro-life third-party candidate get this kind of national attention! He might just win this!!
To answer another question that was raised, Scozzafava received the Margaret Sanger award last year (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwDkpDQtgKA).
Joanne, I’m a fan of MM’s blog, too. Inspiring, are they not, these articulate, intelligent & gutsy women?
Yes, klynn73!! I totally agree!
And it’s official now…. Sarah Palin has endorsed Doug Hoffman! Good for her! So has GOP Rep Michelle Bachmann. The women conservatives have courage and we can be proud of them. And it’s already been mentioned, but doesn’t hurt to repeat that Doug is proudly pro life.

“Dede Scozzafava, a pro-choice Republican congressional candidate, called the police on the Weekly Standard’s John McCormack after he asked her a couple of questions including her position on health care reform bills which fund abortion”
Now they’re calling the police on people who ask tough questions to pro-choicers….LOL
KLynn, I think it would be gutsier for Michelle Malkin to open up her blog.
