Dem. Clark Supports Abortion Rights

BEDFORD, N.H. - Democratic presidential contender Wesley Clark said Thursday he supports a woman's right to have an abortion "as modified by" a 1992 court case that allows states to impose limited restrictions.

Clark's comments, at a news conference, marked a far less sweeping position than one he staked out in an interview earlier this month, when he told a New Hampshire newspaper he opposed any legal restriction on abortion at any point during pregnancy.

Kate Michelman, head of NARAL-Pro-Choice America, said she is satisfied Clark "will not only be a pro-choice candidate but will make it an issue in this campaign" against Bush if he wins the nomination.

"I think what the general is saying is that he supports a woman's right to choose as protected by the law," Michelman said. "We're good to go with Gen. Clark."
