NARAL President’s Remarks Show Political Bias
During the Democratic National Convention Tuesday night, NARAL President Nancy Keenan made some interesting comments about abortion and politicians.
Speaking of Senate candidate Todd Akin’s recent remarks about rape, pregnancy, and abortion, Keenan said, “We believe that a woman should make healthcare decisions with her family, her doctor, and her God. And we believe that there’s no place in that room for politicians — especially politicians who don’t know how women’s bodies work.”
Now, obviously there has been a lot of talk about Todd Akin’s remarks, and I don’t want to belabor the point with more commentary. What struck me about Keenan’s comments, however, was her blanket statement about how there is no room in the abortion discussion for “politicians.”
