Tuck vows to sign no-abortion oath from the Jackson (Mississippi) Clarion-Ledger.

"Lt. Gov. Amy Tuck on Thursday said she will sign an affidavit that she's never had an abortion.

Tuck, a Republican, also blasted her Democratic opponent, state Sen. Barbara Blackmon, for her 'personal attacks and innuendo' that Tuck has had an abortion."

Strange. I can only imagine how this must make all the women in Mississippi who have had abortions feel, as they watch the two leading female politicians in Mississippi hasten to deny that they would ever have done such a thing.

This would be a good opportunity for Silent No More women in Mississippi to speak up.

Update: Some additional stories here and here:

"Lt. Gov. Amy Tuck says her Democratic opponent's challenge that she sign an affidavit swearing she has not had abortion 'could be one of the sleaziest political attacks in Mississippi history.'"
