Web Chat Wrap Up
Yesterday, we gave people the chance to chat with Elizabeth Shipp, political director of NARAL Pro-Choice America. Beth answered questions about John McCain's record on reproductive issues, our outlook for the upcoming elections, and how pro-choice people everywhere can help spread the word on McCain's horrible anti-choice record. Here's a sample:
Katie: The public seems to be so against President Bush and repubs right now. Do you really think that McCain is a threat to the democratic nominee?
Elizabeth Shipp: Katie, I agree with you that voters are fed up with President Bush and most Republicans in Congress. However, that's not to say we shouldn't be worried about McCain's chances in this election.
We've seen Independent voters supporting McCain in primaries and caucuses across the country. The longer the Democratic race goes on, the more time John McCain has to make his case to these Independent voters without having to answer to a Democratic nominee.
NARAL Pro-Choice America knows that the eventual Democratic nominee for president needs these Independent voters, as well as pro-choice Republican voters, to win in the fall. We're focusing on McCain now so that his appeal to these voters will not go unanswered.
