Statement from PPNNE Action Fund on Dubie’s “Pro-Choice” Ad
Planned Parenthood of Northern New England Action Fund endorsed Peter Shumlin for Governor because he is 100% pro-choice and he has a long track record of supporting a woman’s right to choose. Brian Dubie is out of touch with mainstream Vermont values. If elected governor, Dubie would strongly oppose abortion as part of women’s health care coverage and would sharply curtail women’s reproductive health care services. While important changes are happening to our health care system, it’s more important than ever that protect women’s reproductive health.
A new TV ad suggests that Brian Dubie won’t change the laws, but this ad skirts the real issues and blatantly distorts the facts. Brian Dubie has said numerous times that the laws should be changed so that abortion is illegal.* Vermont women deserve to know the facts, Dubie is anti-choice, he will cut access to critical services**, and he opposes comprehensive sex education. Brian Dubie is wrong for Vermont women.
