I can. It was only three weeks ago that Giuliani and the other major Republican presidential candidates applauded the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the Federal Abortion Ban.
The Court's decision is a perfect example of why next year's presidential election matters so much. An anti-choice president and Congress pushed this ban all the way to the Supreme Court. And now President Bush's appointees to the Court have rolled back protections for women's reproductive rights.
But we have a chance to stop this backward trend by sending a pro-choice president to the White House in 2008. NARAL Pro-Choice America supporters like you are already working hard to do just that.
During last week's debates alone:
- An estimated 5,000 supporters attended more than 400 house parties around the country.
- 15,255 supporters signed our petition thanking the Democratic Party for maintaining its pro-choice platform and encouraging it to support the Prevention First Act.
- 15,127 supporters signed our petition telling the Republican Party to change its platform opposing legal abortion and to support a Prevention First plank.
We have had an incredible start to the 2008 election season, and, rest assured, NARAL Pro-Choice America will continue to research the candidates' positions on a woman's right to choose and keep you informed. You can keep learning more by reading what several of the candidates had to say about the Supreme Court's decision last month. We will also work hard to keep women's reproductive rights in the center of the 2008 debate.
There is much at stake in 2008, but, by working together, we will elect a pro-choice president!
Sincerely,
Nancy Keenan
President, NARAL Pro-Choice America
