NARAL Aborts Support for Hillary
NARAL Pro-Choice America snubbed their old pal, presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton. The abortion advocacy group endorsed her rival for the Democratic candidacy, BarackObama, for president.
One prominent abortion rights activist was not pleased with NARAL’s tactics in aborting its support for Hillary and choosing Barack, the Star Tribune (via the Associated Press) reports:
Ellen Malcolm, president of EMILY’s List, which helps elect female candidates who favor abortion rights, harshly criticized the endorsement.
“I think it is tremendously disrespectful to Senator Clinton — who held up the nomination of an FDA commissioner in order to force approval of Plan B and who spoke so eloquently during the Supreme Court nomination about the importance of protecting Roe v. Wade — to not give her the courtesy to finish the final three weeks of the primary process,” Malcolm said in a statement. “It certainly must be disconcerting for elected leaders who stand up for reproductive rights and expect the choice community will stand with them.”
Aborted Americans had no say on the matter of NARAL’s choice.
