Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A leading abortion advocacy group that has consistently been the top political action committee in the nation is expected to endorse New York Sen. Hillary Clinton once she formally declares her intention to run for president. However, Emily List's track record hasn't been very good in recent elections.

"We are going to be there early on,” Ellen Malcolm, president of the organization, told the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper.
"When gets in the race, there are going to be millions of women excited about electing the first female president," Malcolm added.

The pro-abortion group typically sends out mailings to its hundreds of thousands of members asking them to contribute to a candidate's campaign. Emily's List also provides campaign staff members but Malcolm didn't say if that would be the case for Clinton.

A report in Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper, indicates that Emily's List has also built up a well-oiled political machine that could help Clinton the most.
