Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) emphatically called on Republicans Wednesday to stop invoking the late Ted Kennedy to justify their support for the Blunt contraception amendment. She said he was a great champion of women’s health.

“So I ask my colleagues here in this debate. Come here and state your views,” Boxer said on the Senate floor. “But don’t misstake the views of a dear departed colleague, who for 12 years supported a women’s right to have access to contraception.”
