With the clock running down on a long-fought primary, NARAL Pro-Choice America leaders sent state affiliates reeling this week by endorsing Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois. It was seen as a gratuitous slap in the face to a longtime ally, and it sparked a fear even closer to home: that the move will alienate donors loyal to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.
Many on this week’s conference call were stunned on learning the news, making urgent pleas for the group to remain neutral until after the June 3 Democratic primaries.
“It’s created a firestorm,” said NARAL Pro-Choice New York President Kelli Conlin, who was on the conference call. “Everyone was mystified ... saying, ‘What is the upside for the organization? And, frankly, [there was] a lot of concern about the donor base. ... There was real concern there would be a backlash.” There was a backlash, and it was swift, starting with NARAL’s own website. At last count, there were more than 3,300 comments in an electronic chat about the endorsement, the overwhelming majority of them negative. “Shame shame shame!” read one, with many correspondents threatening never to support NARAL financially again. “No more donations from me!!!” wrote another.
In Washington, two dozen women members of Congress who support Clinton held a quickly organized press conference to tout her abortion-rights record Wednesday night. Ellen Malcolm, founder of the abortion-rights women’s fundraising group EMILY’s List, sharply rebuked NARAL for its endorsement. Two former members of Congress (and Clinton supporters) — Geraldine Ferraro and Pat Schroeder — jabbed at NARAL for endorsing before the general election. “Looks like some higher ups at NARAL are trying to get jobs in the new administration ... nothing else makes sense to us,” they wrote in a joint letter.

“frankly, [there was] a lot of concern about the donor base.”
DING!! DING!! DING!!
Eventually, we ALWAYS learn what concerns a liberal the most...
Oh, I’ll take the Jumbo bucket.
Let us pray.
You got caramel popcorn in there? I know it takes longer to make but this could take awhile.
You think these people are upset now, wait until they find out that NARAL kills babies.
Ditto! These baby killers are now all going after each other.
Once McCain got the nomination, I never thought I’d follow politics again. But these dems have been more entertaining that I could have possibly imagined.
And thanks to Rush for Operation Chaos, of course!
Hillary was just aborted.

I thought the title was backward until I read the article. In reality, the Obama campaign should be reeling. NARAL's endorsement is just what Obama needs to convince average Americans that he's not liberal. </sarcasm >
You nailed it with that pic and caption, big’ol_freeper .... just nailed it.

Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
It just gets better and better (bitter), Rush has once again proven his astute ability to strike the soft underbelly of the Rat party.
This is perfect for NARAL.
With Obama at their side, now they can start pushing infanticde instead of just abortion.
Up until the sixth trimester right?
There’s not enough popcorn in the entire world to supply our needs between now and November!
Vote for me. I want to kill more babies than _____.
