softer side:
Lieberman said he believes hospitals that refuse to give contraceptives to rape victims for "principled reasons" shouldn't be forced to do so.
"In Connecticut, it shouldn't take more than a short ride to get to another hospital," he said.Harsh. So harsh, in fact, that both the Connecticut and the national chapters of the National Organization of Women have taken the extraordinary step of endorsing the primary challenger of a long-term Democratic incumbent.
From a Ned Lamont press release:
Ned Lamont's United States Senate campaign will announce a major endorsement today at 1 p.m. at the YWCA in Hartford, Connecticut.
The press conference, in the Soromundi Room on the first floor, is being hosted jointly by Lamont and the National Organization for Women's PAC. The YWCA is at 135 Broad St.
In addition to remarks by Lamont and NOW PAC officials, the event will feature posters of maps, created by a Connecticut volunteer, that have been called a "brilliant piece of guerrilla protest." It will also feature representatives of a feminist web site launched recently in support of Lamont.Check out the link above for Connecticut Bob's
