"A forceful advocate for families and women" is often left-wing code for a politician who strongly supports abortion rights and opposes any restriction on abortion.
It's also how Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace characterized Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) as she sat down shortly after 12:30 p.m. EDT today to discuss Sen. Hillary Clinton's speech this evening and the role of Clinton supporters, particularly women, in making or breaking Democratic Party unity heading into the general election.
Boxer has a solid 100% approval rating from NARAL Pro Choice America and voted in recent years 30 out of 31 times with liberal feminist group NOW.
To be fair to Wallace, his designation of Boxer as an advocate for women and families followed immediately after colleague Jon Scott noted that August 26 marks the 88th anniversary of ratification of the 19th Amendment which secured in the U.S. Constitution a woman's right to vote.
All the same, Wallace could just as warmly welcomed and thanked Boxer for sitting down for a chat without parroting a left-wing euphemisms for the liberal feminist agenda.

Even FoxNews has to tilt left to get guests to appear.
August 26, 2008 - 12:47 ET by c5thenYou know, if you don't stroke their egos, the liberals will not agree to be interviewed by the network anymore.
Boxer is apparently an advocate for women and families except for the 40 million babies she enabled to be killed over the lst 40 years, half of which were female.
What a marvelous record.
The day that "politician" became a career choice is the day we started losing the Republic. Let's get it back! Alan Keyes '08.

If you have ever listened to her on the Senate floor talking about her love for abortion you would scream...and that is just what she does, I don't care how you spin it.
As far as Fox...they bend more and more to the left, it really has disappointed me over the last few years...one example is BOR who all but begs/pleas for Obama to come on his show.
Let them come to you...or else forget about them...treat them the same way you do the right when they come on your shows...with respect, but no obvious pleasing them as if they are special and you are oh so lucky to have them grace your network.
Oh well...what can one do.

Barbara Boxer? Really, the
August 26, 2008 - 13:11 ET by dscottBarbara Boxer? Really, the same person who is labeled the Ace of Diamonds in CORE's (Congress of Racial Equality) deck of worst politicians in America? ...leaders of the "War on the Poor" because of their zero voting records on the Alliance's key pro-consumer votes, and because of their power and influence to drive energy prices higher.
With advocates like her, who needs to be noticed??
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, starving the poor one gallon of ethanol at a time. Fill your tank with E85 and cull a village.
Wallace like O'Reilly?
August 26, 2008 - 13:16 ET by BarkerStalking Points Memo: O'Reilly wants an interview with Obama so bad it shows. Bill would make a good defense attorney for him. Wallace just wants to be liked by his liberal colleagues, and is probably tired of being snubbed at cocktail parties.
And I'll give you the last word...........
NOT!
What say you?
I think these reporters,
August 26, 2008 - 13:49 ET by Chris NormanI think these reporters, even the ones less sympathetic (at least on-air) to the Democrats, have been reading the grotesquely spun (and warped) descriptions of these politicians so long that they just perfunctorily repeat them.
Democrats have tried to wrap themselves in the "it's for the children" mantle as a mask for all their Big Sister control liberal programs and their "for women" crap means abortions - anywhere, any time, in any way.

Advocating for abortion advocates against women and families
August 26, 2008 - 15:57 ET by Dee BunkThanks for bringing this up Ken. People who advocate for abortion do so for selfish reasons. They don't care about the emotional or physical toll it takes on women often for years to come. Many of the "women" having abortions are actually children themselves who haven't fully developed their reasoning skills (doesn't happen until late 20's). They make an uninformed decision based on brainwashing by liberals and usually regret it to some degree or another.
Let's see. The "choice"
August 26, 2008 - 19:49 ET by GrannyGrump42Let's see. The "choice" philosophy is based on the idea that women are inherently inferior to men, that they need surgery to be "equal". And children are vermin to be exterminated.
And espousing this makes you an "advocate for women and families".
Yeah...here is another
August 26, 2008 - 16:13 ET by bigtimerYeah...here is another thing that I read that has happened to Boxer's abortion lovin' Ca. sister in the House...the wonderful Speaker Pelosi about what she said about abortion, when life begins and the church on MTP Sunday.

Boxer's biggest campaign
August 26, 2008 - 17:35 ET by celatorBoxer's biggest campaign donations (by far) come from Emily's List--a PAC for pro-aborts. Money talks, but not for the children. See the following link:

The major media report only half the news. Why are they surprised they have only half the potential audience?
