The leading abortion rights organizations in America say they are confident that Barack Obama will push for their full agenda, including passage of the Freedom of Choice Act, comprehensive sex ed and “reproductive rights” that include “affordable” birth control.
Planned Parenthood, NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League) Pro-Choice America, and the Center for Reproductive Rights have each publicly congratulated the new president-elect on his victory.
“NARAL Pro-Choice America worked hard for our slate of pro-choice candidates across the country, including pro-choice Sen. Barack Obama, and that hard work resulted in the reaffirmation of our commitment to the values of freedom and privacy,” Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America said in a statement.
CIVICS NEWS Comment: The "Freedom of Choice" Act would nullify all state and local government statutes that have attempted to curb some of the killing of the unborn. Not only is this legislation preventing government from exercising its proper role (protecting life), but this act also enables the federal government to reach even further beyond its constitutional bounds. Granted, this legislation is at least legislation, as opposed to Roe v. Wade, which was the Supreme Court legislating from the bench--an act of judicial tyranny. But still, the federal government has no place telling state and local governments what to do, and it is particularly ominous to see the federal governmetn intervening to permit killing.
