This morning, NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC announced their endorsement of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for President of the United States.
The timing of the endorsement is particularly striking, with the Iowa caucuses—the first primary-type event to occur nationwide for the 2016 Presidential election—is now less than one month out. Real Clear Politics has Clinton leading her main opponent for the nomination, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, by 12.8 points in Iowa, 49.8 to 37 percent in the state. (The third contender for the nomination, former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, is currently standing at an average of 6 percent in Iowa.)
In New Hampshire, however, Sanders has taken a slight lead over Clinton in the polls: Real Clear Politics averages Sanders at 49 percent to Clinton’s 44.7 percent of Democratic voters.
“We timed the endorsement to be able to bring the full enthusiasm and weight of NARAL members to the primary process starting in Iowa, where we have 10,000 members pledged to caucus for reproductive freedom. Given that the expected Dem turnout for Iowa is 100,000, we expect our operation in the state to have a large impact,†said Ilyse Hogue, President of NARAL Pro-Choice America. “The stakes are high in 2016. Between shrinking access to abortion, contraception under siege, no real family leave policies in this country, and a Supreme Court up for grabs, we will look back at this election as an inflection point. We want voters to know that when it comes to women's rights and women's opportunity, only a champion can forge the right path by being vocal about the kinds of policies we need to allow women to be in control of our destinies. Hillary is that vocal champion.â€
NARAL reports that they have spent “months knocking on doors and meeting with Iowans talking to them about the importance of reproductive freedom in their lives.†The pro-choice organization also unveiled print and online ads throughout Iowa and New Hampshire today.
While Sanders also has an excellent record on women’s health and reproductive rights, NARAL notes that “Hillary has a deep understanding of the fact that economic inequality for women cannot be solved without centralizing reproductive freedom, including access to abortion and contraception, strong laws preventing pregnancy discrimination, and parental leave.â€
In a statement, Clinton welcomed the endorsement today, saying, "I am honored to earn the endorsement of NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC. As one of our country's leading advocates for reproductive rights, NARAL's work is more important than ever. Women’s health and rights are under attack across America. In Texas, state leaders are taking their fight to cut women off from access to safe and legal abortion all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In Colorado Springs, a violent extremist targeted a health center. Meanwhile, Congress has voted to restrict reproductive rights and cut women off from access to affordable health care. And one after another, Republicans running for President have pledged to cut funding for Planned Parenthood; restrict abortion access; and repeal the Affordable Care Act, which ensures that women will no longer be charged more just for being women.... I will stand with NARAL and women across the country in defending access to abortion, contraception, and sex education. I will stand with NARAL in advocating for policies that help women and families. The stakes could not be higher in this election, and I am grateful to the more than 1 million members of NARAL for their support."
The Iowa caucuses will be held on Feb. 1 and the New Hampshire primaries take place on February 9.
I’m shocked!!!
In other news water is wet.
Kill all the babies, Kill the black babies, kill the brown babies, Kill the white babies, Kill the yellow babies, kill the girl babies, kill the boy babies, Kill em all - vote Hillary!
I wonder how much Hillary paid them to support her from the Clinton Crime family funds.....
Is she proud to have the endorsement of NARAL? Or NRRAL. Sounds lke she is talking about NRRAL. I’ve never heard of NRRAL.
Murderers all.
And bears crap in the woods.
NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League)
Planned Parenthood is a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, and received over $100mm from USAID, or 20% of its total taxpayer funding while Mrs. Clinton was Secretary.
USAID operates under the guidance of the President, the State Department, and the National Security Council.
Planned Parenthood Received Millions of Dollars After Lobbying Clinton's State Department
Wow, I am so unimpressed.
P*****s Unite!
NAMBLA endorses, no surprise to me.
In her defense, she probably cannot imagine that anyone would not know what NARAL refers to. NRLC [National Right to Life Committee], on the other hand, would have to be explained to her, because whoever mentioned it to her would be the first in her life to have done so. That is the bubble in which the MSM resides.
I hate the term "LOL," because it is rarely true. But when it actually does happen, I believe in giving credit where it is due. laughed out loud when I saw this.
My hat is off to you sir. The internet is yours for today.
Regardless what post-FDR era, anti-state sovereignty activist justices wanted everybody to believe about the so-called right to have an abortion, the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect abortion as a right.
In other words, activist justices not only stole legislative branch powers to establish abortion as a right from the bench, but they breached the Founding States division of state and federal government powers and stole 10th Amendment-protected state legislative powers to establish this fictitious constitutional right.
Remember in November!
Patriots need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
Case in point, NARAL stands for ‘National Abortion Rights Action League’.
