(PPAF): 'Three strikes - Bush, Ashcroft and Their Allies Should Be Out'

U.S. Newswire

As President George W. Bush and Attorney General John Ashcroft faced the third courtroom defeat of their federal abortion ban, Planned Parenthood Action Fund (PPAF) president Gloria Feldt said the ruling is a rallying cry for women and their families this Nov. 2. ..

"From his first day in the Oval Office, President George W. Bush has displayed his total lack of compassion for women's reproductive health," stated Action Fund president Gloria Feldt. "He has violated the right to keep our medical histories private. He has limited access to birth control and responsible sex education that can help reduce the need for abortions. And he has consistently nominated anti-choice ideologues to the federal courts that are hostile to a woman's right to privacy and right to choose, painting a clear picture of what another four years of a Bush presidency will hold for women in this country and around the world."

"From the Oval Office to the federal bench, this election is vital to America's women and their families," Feldt said.

"The contrast in this election couldn't be clearer for women and their families as the nation heads toward Nov. 2. Some say we'll never go back to the days before Roe vs. Wade, but President Bush buckles to anti-choice ideology while trumping scientific fact -- all at the expense of women's health and well-being. That's why the Planned Parenthood Action Fund has made its first- ever presidential endorsement: for John Kerry."

They should never have made it to bat.
