For Immediate Release

Honoring Roe V. Wade

"Thirty-one years ago the Supreme Court ruled that the guarantee of liberty in the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution extends the right of privacy to encompass a woman's decisions related to pregnancy and child bearing in Roe v. Wade. Time and again, during the last three decades, that right has been threatened. The Court's ruling has been tried and tested and reaffirmed - but it will be tested again. So we must continue to defend it.

I am pro-choice. I stand with the United States Constitution, the United States Supreme Court, and the majority of the American people in believing that our government has no right to come between a woman, her family, and her doctor in making such a personal and private decision. A woman, of any age, should never be forced to endanger her life. I opposed the ban on late term abortion enacted by President Bush and Republicans in Congress last year because it didn't provide an exception for the health of the woman. And I have opposed parental notification laws that don't allow judicial bypass or notification of another responsible adult, because, while parental involvement is always preferable, it isn't always possible. Our goal should be to make abortion safe, legal and rare.

We should not stand for attempts to return this country to the dark days before Roe v. Wade. We, as a nation, have embraced several simple important constitutional values, such as one-person, one-vote and the right to privacy that are now matters of settled law. I am committed to appointing people from all backgrounds, with the highest qualifications, who are committed to upholding the law and enforcing fundamental constitutional guarantees-- including the rights of privacy and equality."

1. Planned Parenthood LOVES Clark

Is that liberal enough for y'all?

2. The General sincerely supports the right to privacy

I guess limbaugh will be endorsing the General any day now, unless of course, limbaugh is a hypocrite. Maybe bennett can give me odds on the chances of that happening.

6. Limbaugh calls him a liar

As we know, Limbaugh’s gift is demeaning people and infusing simplistic thoughts.
You can see he is having an obvious problem with Clark.

Today on the show he was approached by someone that challenged him in terms of how he could possibly not believe that Clark was sincere, and although he has been working on the “he says one thing one minute and then changes the next” tactic, he’s trying on a new tactic for size....one of dismissing him as a liar and not even real. Actually Clark is too real, too much of a threat to take on directly, so thus the more refined tactic of dismissal is taking its place.
This tactic of utter dismissal is a proven tactic from the business world, when one of true substance who has taken a threatening stance has to be dealt with.

4. Good for Clark. I'm glad to see it.

So far, Dean, Kerry, and Clark have all made strong statements of support. Hope the others follow suit.
