To the editor:
This November, voters in District 12A will have a clear choice for the state Legislature on the issue of abortion. Two candidates have taken clear positions on the issue, while the third candidate has taken both sides of the issue, depending on which audience he is addressing.
The pro-life candidate is Scott Dutcher, Republican. He has said that he supports efforts to defend the unborn.
The pro-choice candidate is David Holman, from the Independence Party. He has said that he believes abortion should be a woman’s right to choose.
The third candidate, Jay McNamar, has switched his position during the campaign. This summer, McNamar sought the endorsement of MCCL, the leading pro-life group in Minnesota. He completed a candidate survey for MCCL where he said he would support their “strategic plan for creating a pro-life Minnesota.” You can find the MCCL survey online at mccl.org.
When MCCL endorsed Dutcher, McNamar changed his position. Now, McNamar is pro-choice! In a PBS debate in late-September, McNamar said he believes that on the issue of abortion, “a woman has the right to choose.” You can find video of McNamar’s change-of-heart at www.pioneer .org.
Will the real Jay McNamar, please come forward?
