The nation's most prominent pro-choice spokeswoman blasted Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for giving $10,000 to right-to-life Pennsylvania Democrat Bob Casey and accused the former first lady of "putting politics over principle." "When push comes to shove, at certain times, [Clinton] will support the party even if that choice does not reflect all their standards and principles," Kate Michelman, former longtime head of NARAL Pro-Choice America, told The Post.
Clinton, a darling of the pro-choice community, is taking heat from the activist for giving the maximum donation allowable under law to pro-life Senate hopeful Casey through her political committee, HillPAC.

How much further will she go to try to convince us that she's a sheep in wolve's clothing?
Hillary is pissing off the Kos Kids with every feint to the right without gaining any fish with the Boob Bait.
Those people need to wake up to the fact that she is a lying itch and always was and always will be.
Because a lot of the fish know that the worms on her hook are artificial.
Nothing for the aborts to worry about.
Within five years in Washington, he will go from being pro-life to pro-abort, just like Clinton, Gore, Kennedy, Bonior, Gephart, Reid, etc.
In the end, the kos kids will support the hildebeast.
you forgot the "B"
The Klintoons have no principles, only politics.
Thank for catching that, I'll try and not let it happen again.
If they think that Senator Clinton will be anything other than doctrinaire, across the board, hard core pro-choice while in office, NARAL isn't as smart as I think they are.
The same comments could apply to Bob Casey. The only reason the party tolerates him is because they know his "pro-life" stance is lip service meant to get him elected and to put a "big tent" face on the Dims. Once he wins office, the pro-life language will go out the window and he'll turn into just as much a hard-core abortion supporter as is Hillary.
It's just to create a talking point. Now, whenever someone on a talkshow calls her a liberal, the talking heads will be able to rebut: "You're being hysterical, totally over-the-top. After all, she gave money to a conservative, pro-life Democrat!"
As big an abortion supporter as Senator Clinton? That would be difficult. Casey may tack left on stem cell research, cloning and funding for international abortion providers, but I bet he will be a solid vote against partial-birth and prenatal protection.
Once a candidate makes a promise of that magnitude it it very difficult to go back to that degree.
which principle did they feel was being overun by politics. The principal of death? Wow, how tolerant, diverse and inclusive.
The sad thing is that NARL probably understands that, and it's not enough for them. Simply being "pro-choice" is not enough for NARL. They openly call for more abortions and moral de-stigmatization of the process. Seriously.
The position they occupy in the press is a lot like the one Hamas was getting. They couldn't be more honest or open about their beliefs or their intentions, but the media doesn't take what they say seriously, because nobody could be that crazy, right? I posted a thread on Friday about a NARL event at the University of Connecticut dedicated to talking about abortions so young ladies would be more comfortable having them.
And there were several "conservatives" here defending them.
Ok people, I don't know too much about Casey, Jr. but is he TRULY pro-life like Santorum (or Casey, Sr.) or is he a Tom Daschle/Harry Reid pro-lifer who "personally opposes abortion"?
Dah! That's it for me, yes sir. I support the beast now that see is pro life, yes sir!
This is another example of these nitwits thinking they can fool pro life people because after all we aint all that smart anyway.
