Cheney Tells National Right To Life Group Additional Restrictions On Women's Reproductive Freedom Is Goal
In a speech at a dinner for the National Right To Life, Vice President Dick Cheney made clear his and the President's anti-choice views and their intentions to continue their assault on a woman's right to choose. What he didn't make clear was exactly how far he and the President would go towards eliminating reproductive options for women, from birth control to abortion. Certainly the American people deserve to know what steps Vice President Cheney had in mind when he told an audience of anti-choice activists that "America still has some distance to travel" to achieve President Bush's goal of eliminating a woman's right to choose.
NARAL Pro-Choice America President Kate Michelman said: "This is classic Bush Administration politics -- the President hides behind Dick Cheney to placate the far right, while trying to keep mainstream Americans from hearing his true beliefs. It seems clear from the Vice President’s speech, though, that Bush has an aggressive second-term agenda in mind. The American people deserve to know now what he is planning."
This is precisely why NARAL Pro-Choice America and each of its affiliates, including NARAL Pro-Choice Missouri, has launched an aggressive effort to ensure that President Bush and Vice President Cheney are not given an opportunity for a second term.
