Boxer Focuses on Abortion Issues in Calif. Senate Race
Although the economy and jobs have been the dominant issues in California's Senate race, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) is highlighting her support for abortion rights in an effort to distinguish her views from those of her Republican opponent, Carly Fiorina, who opposes abortion except in cases or rape, incest or to save a woman's life. According to a Field Poll released earlier this month, about seven out of 10 California voters support abortion rights.
