I took a few weeks off. Months, maybe. It's been busy over here, what with the election, abortion fundraisers, and, you know, my day job. So anyway, I'm back.
Yesterday I was out with a friend for lunch - both of us have spent time at NARAL, and we are both so pissed about the NARAL endorsement of Barack Obama. Not because he's particularly BAD on choice, but because it was a shitty thing to do to Hilary Clinton, who has been great on choice. As faithful readers know, I have seen them both speak on choice at a Planned Parenthood event, and she seemed to know everything there is to know. Also, if I was at NARAL, I would have wanted some sort of value for my endorsement. Like a mutual admiration society. I may have missed it, but I haven't heard Mr. Obama talk about how much he admires NARAL, and how he's going to use NARAL as a resource in the future.
I liked Emily's List's response. And I loved Ilana Goldman's letter to Mrs. Clinton when she suspended her campaign (which means she quit, right?)
