Shelley Sekula Gibbs is taking it on the chin this week over an exchange (click to hear it) she had with KSEV’s conservative talk show hosts Edd Hendee and Pat Gray last week over her "evolving" position on abortion. The Houston Chronicle did a story on it today as well.
Back in 2001, when Sekula Gibbs was running for a Houston City Council seat, she sought the endorsement of Planned Parenthood and said abortion should remain a legal option. But in her 2006 race against Slick Nick Lampson, she said she had undergone a complete change of heart and mind on the issue.
Today she states, “My voting record is 100 percent pro-life.” Uh... OK, Shelley. Technically that's correct but really, as Hendee and Gray pointed out you had the chance to vote on only one abortion bill during your seven-week service in Congress to fill out Tom Delay's term. This may not be exactly padding your resume but it's awfully close.
We believe Shelley when she says she's had a change of heart on the abortion issue and is now pro-life. Many good people have seen the light on this issue and changed their positions. Just please quit trying to overstate your case -- it makes you look silly.
