NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC Endorses Obama's Reelection Campaign


NARAL Pro-Choice America's political action committee became the first reproductive rights group to endorse President Barack Obama's reelection effort on Tuesday. It timed the endorsement to coincide with National Women's Health Week.

Nancy Keenan, NARAL's president, told The Huffington Post that the organization's strategy moving forward is to draw a contrast between Obama's positions and those of presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney on women's health and reproductive choice issues.

"The contrast is clear and it's stark," she said. "The president believes women and doctors should make medical decisions, while Mitt Romney thinks a politician should be in charge. President Obama wants to uphold a woman's right to choose, and we've heard Romney say time and time again that he wants to outlaw abortion.

"And I think most recently as well we've seen that the president made it possible for nearly every woman to get insurance coverage of contraception without a copay, and we have Mr. Romney wanting to take away that contraceptive coverage and even go further and defund family planning. The choice is clear, the contrast is stark, and we're very proud to be the first to endorse the president for reelection."
