Johnson Flooded With Calls

Aberdeen American News:  Johnson's office flooded with calls from abortion groups

Abortion groups are battling over Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson's vote on the next Supreme Court justice.

Fidelis, a Michigan-based Catholic organization that opposes abortion, is criticizing Planned Parenthood for encouraging citizens to call Johnson's office in opposition to nominee Samuel Alito.

"Planned Parenthood is engaged in very risky politics by bringing their extreme position on abortion into South Dakota, a well known pro-life state," said Fidelis President Joseph Cella in a news release this week.

Representatives for Planned Parenthood said they are simply allowing the state's citizens to have a voice.

I previously cited Planned Parenthood's pressuring of Senator Johnson  here.  Also, there's a lot of Johnson / Alito posts going up at Mt. Blogmore.  Denise Ross doesn't seem to get the point that Johnson has refused to say he won't filibuster Alito.  Johnson can decide if he wants to vote for or against Alito later.  The issue is that Johnson has refused to state whether he'd at least support giving Alito a vote.
