Edwards Statement On The 35th Anniversary Of Roe v. Wade
http://www.johnedwards.com/news/press-releases/20080122-roe-v-wade/

Chapel Hill, North Carolina – John Edwards released the following statement on the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

"Roe v. Wade was an important step on the road to full equality, opportunity and dignity for women. On the 35th anniversary, it is important to reflect how far we've come as a nation, but more importantly how far we still have to go.

"I strongly support a woman's right to privacy and reproductive choices. That right has been under attack though -- by President Bush and his anti-choice agenda and by the Supreme Court, which has been moving the right-wing's agenda faster than we've seen in decades. The hard right turn of the Supreme Court is a stark reminder of why Democrats cannot afford to lose the 2008 election. Too much is at stake - starting with a woman's right to choose.

"As President, I will guarantee the right to choose and ensure that women can make choices in their lives with dignity and can participate in our society fully, as equals."


Has anyone else released anything on this yet?

And yet still we see the petulant foot-stomping.

*sigh*

5. You are right.
I 'borrowed' my signature line from a blogger on the Edwards website. It is the truth and it needs to be screamed from the highest mountain top.

A VOTE FOR JOHN EDWARDS IS A VOTE FOR YOURSELF.

6. Funny, I borrowed mine from Edwards-
"The people who are for me are fearless."

I like the sound of that. And I like the sound of yours too.

9. That must be why
he voted "absent" on the so called "partial-birth" abortion bill in 2003.

11. "Has anyone else released anything on this yet?"
I haven't seen any, but with John's statement I'm sure the others will follow his lead, as usual. John is driving the debate and setting the bar higher!
