Dear (Sparkly),
As the president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, it’s my top priority to help elect pro-choice candidates to the U.S. House, Senate, and most importantly in 2008, the White House.
The 2008 elections will be a turning point for the future of a woman’s right to choose. That’s why I’m writing to you today. When you go to the polls on Tuesday, I urge you to request a Democratic ballot and vote pro-choice in your state’s primary. Click here to find out the rules for your state’s primary.
http://www.elections.state.md.us/voting/election_day_questions.html#ProceduresWhy is a non-partisan, pro-choice organization like NARAL Pro-Choice America asking you to vote Democratic? Because the Republicans running for president are anti-choice and have gone even further than George W. Bush in their anti-choice rhetoric by directly calling for the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.
* Since coming to Washington, John McCain has voted anti-choice 125 times out of 130 votes cast on abortion and other reproductive-rights issues. He even boasts about it! “I have many, many votes and it’s been consistent. And I’ve gotten a consistent zero from NARAL throughout all those years.”
* Mike Huckabee, who has emphatically stated that Roe v. Wade should be overturned, even supports a so-called “human life” amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Versions of this type of amendment could outlaw not only abortion, but birth control, stem-cell research, and in-vitro fertilization, too.
Clearly we will have our work cut out for us no matter who wins the Republican nomination. That’s why we are getting the word out now about what we’ll be up against, and why we need you to vote pro-choice.
Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are fully pro-choice. I know that either of them will support and defend a woman’s right to choose if elected president. NARAL Pro-Choice America has endorsed both of these pro-choice leaders in their previous races for U.S. Senate, and I am confident about their commitment to women’s reproductive health and right to choose. If you value freedom and privacy, please vote for the pro-choice Democratic candidate of your choice.
Thank you for all that you do.
Nancy Keenan
