Quick Hit: Keenan speaks out in Texas
Check out this piece in the Austin American-Statesman about NARAL Pro-Choice America president Nancy Keenan and her recent visit Texas.
Nancy Keenan came by during a visit to Austin last week, and she's still grinning about the outcome of the Nov. 7 election. She has reason to.Keenan, a former state representative and state school superintendent from Montana, is president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, the most prominent — or notorious, depending on your view — organization campaigning to preserve for pregnant women the decision whether to get an abortion. (She's also a Catholic.)
She met here with local abortion-rights advocates before the Legislature convenes on Jan. 9 and visited with Sarah Weddington, the Austin lawyer who in 1973 won the Roe v. Wade case before the U.S. Supreme Court, which established the right of American women to abortion.
Check out the whole profile—it’s good stuff.
