Planned Parenthood's "Friday Fraud": John O'Bannon

Friday, October 2, 2009

Over at Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia, they've got a feature called "Friday Frauds." Today's "fraud" on women's reproductive rights is Del. John O'Bannon (R-73). Check this out:
...[Del. O'Bannon] consistently votes to limit and restrict women’s access and personal decision making when it comes to basic reproductive health care. His votes as Delegate are very anti-health and very anti-women; the worst part is that he is a doctor, so he definitely knows how much damage he is causing. O’Bannon has been a member of the House of Delegates since 2000 and throughout the years has, time after time, voted for anti-choice measures.

[...]

As you can see, there is a definite pattern in the way Delegate John O’Bannon votes. If there is an anti-choice bill at hand, he is going to vote in its favor. His 100% approval rating from Virginia’s Family Foundation is proof that O’Bannon prides himself on his anti-choice votes. Nine years is too long to have an anti-choice, anti-woman representative in the House of Delegates. The 2009 election is our opportunity as voting women to take a stand and vote for the candidates who will support us and our health care options. Virginian women deserve better!
One of many reasons to support Tom Shields for Delegate in the 73rd district.
