p> PRO-LIFE NO MORE br> Re: David Mark's Deja Do-Over : /p>

In David Mark's column "Deja Do-Over," he seriously misrepresents the views of freshman U.S. Rep. Jason Altmire (D-Beaver County). Although he campaigned as a pro-life candidate, Altmire voted with the abortion industry to provide taxpayer money to Planned Parenthood. According to the National Right to Life Committee PAC, Altmire is only two-for-seven in key pro-life votes during his tenure in the House.

p>Altmire's systematic misrepresentation of himself as a pro-life candidate was a critical factor in his narrow victory over U.S. Rep. Melissa Hart (R-Allegheny County), who was -- and is -- resolutely pro-life. If she is to reclaim the seat, voters must be shown how Altmire's record belies his public persona. As a longtime reader and supporter, I am profoundly disappointed that TAS would help perpetuate the "pro-life Altmire" myth. br> -- David N. Taylor br> Carlisle, Pennsylvania /p> p>
