The father of a U.S. Senate candidate on Tuesday tried to dissuade a Tennessee news station from filming a news conference critical of his son, according to the pro-life event's organizers.

Johnston told Cybercast News Service he called the conference to expose Ford's real position on abortion. During the campaign Ford has portrayed himself as moderate on abortion and other issues.

It means that women who are "just a little bit" (moderately) pregnant are eligible for an abortion, those fully pregnant must go full term.

Did we decide that it was "tracker".
What the heck is that?
A dear hunter?
