Radditz got her marching orders from ACLU as you can see tonight:
“On October 9, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) disseminated an email alert, urging its supporters nationwide to lobby ABC News correspondent Martha Raddatz, who will moderate the October 11 debate between Vice President Joe Biden and the Republican nominee for vice president, Congressman Paul Ryan.
In the alert, Jennifer Dalven, who is the director of the ACLU “Reproductive Freedom Project,” complained that the abortion issue did not come up during the first presidential debate on October 3. She asked readers to send an email to Raddatz to urge that she press for answers “straight from the candidates’ mouths [on] where they stand on . . . access to abortion. . “
