On Tuesday's In the Arena, fill-in host Christine Romans questioned Marjorie Dannenfelser of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List on the relevance of the abortion issue in the upcoming presidential election. She argued that the central issues, according to polls, are the economy and jobs and that focusing on politicians' stances on abortion might not be a viable strategy. Ironically, Anderson Cooper opened up CNN's 10 p.m. hour with a “Keeping Them Honest” segment scrutinizing a certain politician's flip-flops on same-sex marriage – President Obama. [Video below the break.] During In the Arena, the Susan B. Anthony List's Dannenfelser questioned the loyalty of certain Republican presidential candidates to the pro-life movement. Romans seemed to take issue with that, and then pressed her on the viability of focusing on this issue given that economic issues are taking center stage with the American people. “But isn't it central conversation in American living rooms when the top thing on the all the polls right now is the economy and jobs?” she asked.

Rep. Eshoo intros 4G disclosure act, hopes to turn consumers into techies

We’re gonna shoot from the hip here — wireless carriers have gotten a little out-of-hand with their 4G marketing. Even industry standard setter, the ITU , can’t figure out a way to keep the story straight . This consumer disinformation loop is exactly what Rep. Anna Eshoo plans to undo with her “Next Generation Wireless Disclosure Act.” Like its title says, the bill would force carriers to be absolutely, unfalteringly crystal clear on minimum data speeds, network reliability, accessible coverage maps, and, of course, the technology being used. Think the T-Mobile girl can handle that in thirty seconds? We didn’t think so, either. Retailers tried a similar consumer hand-holding effort during the DTV transition , although that came without a regulatory shove. Hit the source for legalese in all its undisturbed glory, and while you wait for Uncle Sam to act, you can clear up any lingering confusion by diving into our primer .
