"Planned Parenthood running radio ads against Guinta"
By James Pindell, politicalscoop.wmur.com - February 21, 2011

After U.S. Congressman Frank Guinta (R-Manchester) voted to strip all federal funding from Planned Parenthood, the organization is running ads in New Hampshire this week targeting him.

The vote was on an amendment offered by Indiana Congressman Mike Pence. Since the 1970s, the federal government has had a ban on funding abortions directly. This bill would remove funding for women’s health and other services that are mainly geared to low income women.

"War on women"
By Lucy Edwards, Northwood, NH
For the (Concord) Monitor, Letter, January 31, 2012

I wish the idea that there is a war on women going on was hyperbole, but I fear it isn't. I am annoyed not just at Frank Guinta, my congressman, but also at a great many others in what we used to call the Grand Old Party, the one my father belonged to and one that he would never recognize today. And "annoying" does not come close to describing what I see in the New Hampshire Legislature, in the presidential primary campaign and in Congress.

There's the war on Planned Parenthood in New Hampshire, in Congress and across the country. There's presidential candidate Rick Santorum, who says that a rape victim's pregnancy is a gift from God.

There's the attack on contraception, a practice which I think I can safely say is mainstream in our country and has been for decades.

Younger women than I would be well-advised to realize that when I was a teenager, contraception was illegal in my home state. It could be illegal again.

I don't know why we are targets for all this abuse. Some New Hampshire legislators think we have too much police protection when we are the victims of domestic assault, and would take us back to when beating your wife was, let's say, close-to-acceptable behavior.

Women outnumber men in our country, and we are your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, neighbors. It's time for all of us, men and women, to stand up and say, "Enough!"

Frank Guinta – Radically Corrupt and Extremely Anti-Woman

Named by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington as one of the most corrupt members of Congress in 2011. According to CREW, Guinta “fudged the numbers and cooked the books to buy a seat in Congress,” including soliciting an illegal contribution from the Republican Governors Association. He is currently being investigated by the FEC for loans he made to his campaign. Guinta campaigned on overturning Roe V. Wade and has advocated a total ban abortion with no exceptions, not even to save the life of a woman. He was elected with Tea Party support from the Koch Brothers, Tea Party Express and Freedom Works, but in Congress, he wouldn’t even honor his promise to join Michelle Bachmann’s Tea Party Caucus. He believes that Obama is trying to bring socialism to the US.
