Gazette ignores Bob Schaffer's statement that he "saw no forced abortions"

If a Democrat had been involved in anything close to this kind of problem the Gazette would be all over it:
Senate candidate Bob Schaffer continues to be dogged by reports of his 1999 trip to the Northern Mariana Islands — one he claimed was a fact-finding mission, but turned out to be a $13,000 junket paid for by a front group for convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

But when Colorado Right to Life, a group in Schaffer's own backyard, took him to task for failing to speak out against factory owners who forced abortions on their workers, Schaffer's response was laughable.

"In five days, I did not observe a forced abortion," Schaffer declared.

Bob Schaffer turned a blind eye. We need to tell him his "See No Evil, Speak No Evil" excuse isn't believable. Sign our petition today to encourage him to repent for his mistake and put the rights of workers ahead of big-money donors.

Then, after you sign the petition, forward it to everyone you know and tell them it's time to hold Bob Schaffer accountable.

But hey, Bob Schaffer is a Republican, so all bets are off when it comes to coverage of this mess by the Gazette.
