Push Polling in Ohio's 50th?

I just talked to a friend who lives in Canton, Ohio and he seemed to believe that he'd just been "push polled" by a pollster asking questions about the Celeste DeHoff (D) vs Todd Snitchler (R) race in Ohio's 50th House District. He was asked something along the lines of, "Celeste DeHoff supports abortion on demand, even for minors, without the consent of their parents. Does this make you more or less likely to vote for her in the upcoming....?"

At that point my friend's ethics outweighed his curiosity, and he hung up, so I suppose it's impossible to say for sure if it was a push poll (the pollster said that she'd be asking negative questions about both candidates). But, looking at Snitchler's website, I'm inclined to call shenanigans.
