Congratulations Barack Obama!

Says Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America:

Tonight marks the beginning of a new era for America, with a leader in the White House who respects women's ability to make personal, private decisions. Sen. Obama's strong support for a woman's right to choose galvanized voters across the country. The clear contrast between Obama's pro-choice values and John McCain's extreme anti-choice record made an enormous difference in this race. Sen. Obama's visionary pledge to change the tone of the debate over reproductive rights struck a chord with Americans looking for a leader to move the country away from the divisive attacks and rhetoric that have dominated our nation's political process for the last eight years. As the first major pro-choice organization to endorse Sen. Obama, we are proud of our members who volunteered for his campaign and whose support made it possible for us to persuade key swing voters to support his candidacy in all 50 states. We look forward to working with our new pro-choice president in protecting women's health and privacy.

America, we now have a pro-choice president.
