Scott Brown is just another Republican in the long list of Republicans going back on their former positions to win an election.
In a debate on Monday, the former Massachusetts senator said that he always supported a woman’s choice and access to contraception. This is a new position of course, because Scott Brown is one of the co-sponsors of a legislation that blocks women’s access to the same thing he now says he always supported.
“To think that I don’t support women’s rights and ability to get contraception is just a false premise,” Brown said during the debate against Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH). “I have since I was 18 years old.”
Talking Points Memo points out that the legislation Scott Walker previously sponsored, gave employers the right to take away contraception access from employees based on that employer’s belief.
But that was then and this is now. And according to Scott Walker’s new position, that legislation he recently co-sponsored happened before he turned 18.
