If for no other reason I'm dead set against Coakley for the following statement
INTERVIEWER: In the emergency room you still have your religion freedom.
COAKLEY: The law says that people are allowed to have that and so then you can have religious freedom...
In response to a First Amendment right she states "The law says that people are allowed to have that..." This is more than simply law; this is a case of fundamental rights not a matter of a speed limit where there are no Constitutional ramifications if the speed limit is set at 30 or 35 miles an hour. Basic individual freedom is a central aspect of being an American.
We are a free people who have set limits on what our government can or cannot do. Imagine if Bush or Cheney had said "the laws says that people are allowed to have that ..." in regard to the 5th Amendment. Image the outcry.
Why is there no outcry here?

The Problem with Roe v Wade
The problem with Roe v Wade is that it's become a catch phrase to mean abortion on demand. Even Attorney Generals who are nitpicky in some areas have accepted this wider definition. Listen to Martha Coakley below.
In talking about a bill that would allow Emergency Room personnel to chose not to provide contraceptives to rape victims because, as Catholics, it would be against their religion Coakley responds:
"If people believe that they don’t want to provide services that are required under the law and under Roe v Wade that they can individually not follow the law. ..." (At .22 seconds below.)
There are plenty of problems with Roe v Wade, and even more in people's interpretations of it. Regardless of any interpretation Roe v Wade does NOT require that physicians or Emergency Room personnel provide contraceptives to rape victims or anyone else.

If Coakley was a Republican she would be made a laughing stock.
If Coakley was a Republican she would be made a laughing stock on the MSM. There would be 24 hours a day replays of her gaffs. And people call Sarah Palin stupid?
If Palin is stupid then so is Coakley. If Coakley is not stupid then how could anyone call Palin stupid?
Again, let me state that if Coakley was a Republican she would be made into a laughing stock.
FIRST, she says that there were no terrorists in Afghanistan the same week when 8 CIA analysts were killed by a suicide bomber; THEN she says she understands international relations because relatives live abroad and she talks with them; THEN she says that actually shaking hands with voters at Fenway is a bad idea; THEN she has TV ads where they misspell Massachusetts; THEN she considers all Catholics as unfit for ER jobs and describes a First Amendment Right - the Freedom of Religion - as "some law" and NOW, she dismisses Curt Shilling as a "Yankee Fan."
For those unfamiliar with baseball. Curt Shilling was a singularly important part of the Boston Red Sox getting to, and winning the World Series in 2004. This may seem unimportant, but it was a key event in Massachusetts, even non-baseball fans were aware that something important was happening. Boston was breaking "The Curse." Curt Shilling was one of the heroes of the day. A few years have passed; Curt Shilling is now a Republican activist and Coakley in an inane attempt in criticizing Shilling calls him a "Yankee Fan." See the interview. She doesn't seem to understand what she's saying.
Let's state this again. If she was a Republican the MSM would be cutting her to shreds and the meme "Republicans are stupid" would once again be filling the airwaves.
If Palin is stupid then so is Coakley. If Coakley is not stupid then how could anyone call Palin stupid?
