Keenan responds to Miers confusion
NARAL Pro-Choice America is calling on Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers to make her position on privacy and a right to birth control clear.
Nancy Keenan released the following statement:
“Americans have heard and read conflicting reports on Harriet Miers’ views on birth control and a woman’s right to choose. Yesterday, there was confusion over whether she told the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee she supported the decisions in the Griswold and Eisenstadt cases, which affirmed a constitutional right to birth control. In recent days, some of her friends have given assurances that she would serve as a reliable vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. Miers then said she hadn’t discussed her views on Roe v. Wade. Now, an unsigned questionnaire from her days as a political candidate has surfaced that appears to show she supported a wide range of anti-choice policies. Harriet Miers’ inconsistency and evasiveness continue to generate confusion and concern. Miers must give direct answers on these critical questions as she pursues a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court.”
