Dean's Statement on Roe vs. Wade Anniversary

LEBANON, NH— “Thirty one years ago, the Supreme Court recognized that American women have a constitutional right to control their own bodies. But the right to choose hangs in the balance of the 2004 election. If George W. Bush gets to appoint even one anti-choice justice to the Court, the era of safe, legal abortion in the United States will end.

“As a family doctor, a Board Member of my local Planned Parenthood and Governor of Vermont, I have worked my entire adult life to promote women’s health. If elected President I will defend the right to reproductive privacy and fight to keep politics out of medicine.”

Damn right!!!!

2. Excellent. Someone started a thread here
several weeks ago, asking why our candidates aren't more vocal about the damage that will be done if * gets to appoint more SOTUS justices. I'd like to see all of them speak out in a united way on this.

3. Hmmm. I don't hear much about this from the other candidates.
Too scary for them, I wouldn't wonder.

4. They're all making statements
I've already seen threads regarding what Clark and Kerry have said about it today.

8. I am proven wrong and happily admit it.
I'm glad that Clark and Kerry have followed suit with strong statements. I hope the rest of the Dems do likewise.

7. These are the kind of statements from his campaign that make me loyal
Short and to the point. No waltzing around the issue. Simple fact.
