Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley to Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell: "Nothing Says Jobs Like Transvaginal Probes" // O'Malley Meme

As we mentioned earlier today, during a recent media event with national political reporters, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley jabbed at Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell. The Baltimore Sun reported:
BALTIMORE SUN: "[Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley] also took some jabs at the Republican party, which he believes has strayed from the economy. "Nothing says jobs like transvaginal probes," O'Malley said, referring to the controversial legislation backed by VA Gov. Bob McDonnell, a Republican, that would have required some women to undergo the invasive procedure before having an abortion."
Maryland Juice took the opportunity on a lazy Saturday to cut and paste a few images of Gov. O'Malley into our first O'Malley photo meme (see Maryland Juice's Facebook Meme Gallery). Enjoy!

CD6: MoveOn.org Questions John Delaney on Georgetown University Anti-Contraception Policy

UPDATE: Maryland Juice is hearing that NARAL gives John Delaney a 100% Pro-Choice rating.

Maryland Juice received the following press release from MoveOn.org regarding the 6th Congressional District Democratic Primary:

PRESS RELEASE

Progressives Ask Why John Delaney Won’t 
Repudiate Georgetown’s Anti-Contraception Policy

Throughout his campaign to represent Maryland’s sixth congressional district, John Delaney has claimed to oppose any restrictions on women’s reproductive choices, yet his refusal to take a stand in his leadership position at Georgetown has undermined women’s access to critical health care services. Delaney serves on the executive committee of the Board of Directors for Georgetown University, which bans the sale of any and all birth control on campus, and doesn’t provide contraceptive coverage in any of its student health plans. Just last month, Planned Parenthood representatives tabling for "Hoyas for Choice" were forced off campus by university police. Delaney has remained silent in the wake of these restrictive actions, choosing instead to give thousands to right-wing politician Rep. Andy Harris who wants to take away women’s reproductive rights.
