Barbara Comstock on women cancer screenings

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 29, 2013


Voters “Shouldn’t Be Fooled” By Barbara Comstock


October 29, 2013 –Barbara Comstock voted against $200,000 in the state budget in 2013 that would have directly funded breast and cervical cancer screenings for poor women. (HB1500, 2013, Toscano Amendment, item 295 #2h)



And, Comstock voted to prohibit state funding of stem cell research (HB30, 2012, Cole Amendment, Item 4-0.01 Item #4h).



Comstock’s mailing calling Kathleen Murphy a liar last week just reinforces The Washington Post editorial endorsing candidate Kathleen Murphy when they said about Comstock:



“A prodigious fundraiser, s[Barbara Comstock] has managed to obscure her record by stressing anodyne issues like combating Lyme disease. Voters in her district, which stretches from McLean in Fairfax County to northwest Loudoun County, shouldn’t be fooled.” The Washington Post, 10/24/13



Comstock claims her vote for a breast density bill, which passed both the House and Senate unanimously, proves her dedication to cancer screenings for women. (Comstock should check her own facts. In her mailing, the bill is cited as a 2013 piece of legislation, when in fact, that bill was passed in 2012.)



Let’s be clear. One, the breast density bill gives women-who can already afford a mammogram-more information allowing them to decide whether to get further testing for breast cancer. Two, that bill does not address funding for cancer screenings. It gives women more information about whether to seek additional screenings, but it does not help poor women pay for those additional screenings so important to catch cancer early.

Barbara Comstock voted against cancer screenings for women and against funding for stem cell research. She fooled the voters once with her votes against these important issues to women. Don’t let her fool you twice with this mail piece.

Talk about cherry picking. Give me a fucking break. This is exactly why Obama never voted when he was in state office.

So she didn't vote against funding for cancer screenings... She voted against directing a portion of funding for cancer screenings to be earmarked for PP.
