NARAL gets new president; US cringes with jealousy

New president of NARAL Pro-Choice America Nancy Keenan is well prepared for the upcoming battle over choice. A former Montana public official and seasoned activist, Keenan is going into the position with the right attitude. “I really believe that pro-choice is an American value and that it is shared by women and men across the country,” she says in the Washington Post today.
Pro-choicers are so often put on the defensive, especially with this new liberals-have-no-moral-values crap. What seems to be lost in most conversations about reproductive rights is that the majority of Americans are pro-choice.
Keenan certainly has a fight ahead of her, though. With Bush still in office and the Supreme Court essentially up for grabs, the right to choose in a seriously precarious position.
But I’m all about staying positive. As Keenan optimistically points out, “We have America on our side.”
