Campaign Notebook: McMahon's Stance on Emergency Contraceptives Questioned

News and updates from the campaign trail in Connecticut.

Senate 

Linda McMahon (R): The candidate’s opposition to having the government force religious hospitals to issue emergency contraception for rape victims has, according to Talking Points Memo, lead “pro-choice advocates in the Nutmeg State to further question her abortion rights credentials.”

McMahon talked about the issue with the Hartford Courant editorial board last week.

Chris Murphy (D) attended a debate viewing party on Tuesday with the Norwalk Democratic campaign headquarters. The candidate – coming off a trio of debates with Linda McMahon – offered this advice to the president, reports Patch.

"[Obama] needs to really articulate the differences between an America under Romney and an America led by Obama," Murphy said.

Fourth District

Jim Himes and Steve Obsitnik will debate business on Thursday, Oct. 18 at the Norwalk Inn and Conference Center. The debate, sponsored by the Greater Norwalk Chamber of Commerce, begins at 11:30 a.m.
