The Clinton campaign’s lies about Obama’s record on choice start to come back at them.
Lorna Brett Howard, the former President of Chicago NOW and still a pro-choice activist, has switched from supporting Clinton to supporting Obama because of what she calls the “dishonesty” of the Clinton campaign’s attacks on Obama on the choice issue.
