MN-02: GOP congressional candidate Joe Teirab tries to dodge declared support for federal abortion restrictions

Joe Teirab, the Republican candidate for Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District seat, recently claimed that he opposes federal abortion restrictions, despite indicating the opposite in a recent anti-abortion survey.

During an interview with CBS News Minnesota last month, Teirab plainly stated that he opposes federal regulations on abortion when asked about his stance on the issue.

“You know, to be clear about this, I am against a federal ban or federal restrictions on abortion,” Teirab told CBS News Minnesota. “It is not a federal issue; it is a state issue. I think we need to move forward where we have consensus on this, like making sure we support adoption and foster care.”

Despite this interview, Teirab indicated the opposite position on a pro-life questionnaire conducted by Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life. In the survey, Teirab answered “yes” to multiple questions regarding the federal regulation of reproductive rights.

For Angie Craig, it has always been a tough sell, but she has pulled it off three times in a row. It includes some rural areas that tend to lean rightward. She has developed a brilliant line to break the ice with the conservative hard-working farmers in her district. They often complain of the strain their strenuous jobs put on their marriages. She tells them that she sympathizes, and knows exactly what they mean. She tells them that she knows it’s not easy being married to a woman, and she knows because she is married to a woman, herself (and she really is).

She has won her district three times in a row, so it must work. Well, that, and the fact that she is a delightful person helps. Her southern twang is very catchy, too. She is originally from Arkansas, and doesn’t bother to try to hide it.
