Help Elect a Pro-Choice Congressman in Louisiana, Cedric Richmond

| | Comments (3) | TrackBacks (0)

Last week, the pro-choice community scored a victory in Florida. Rep. Kendrick Meek, who has a perfect pro-choice record with NARAL Pro-Choice America, won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. Meek's victory paves the way for a pro-choice pickup in the Sunshine State. Now he faces anti-choice candidates Charlie Crist and Marco Rubio (Rubio is also backed by the Tea Party) in the general election on November 2. 

Florida isn't the only Gulf Coast state with an exciting chance for a pro-choice pickup in Congress. In Louisiana, NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC has endorsed state Rep. Cedric Richmond for U.S. House in the 2nd District. 

Richmond will face off against incumbent Republican Joseph Cao in the November election. Cao has never voted pro-choice while in Congress, and even voted for the Stupak-Pitts amendment to the health-reform bill. Cao wants to overturn Roe v. Wade and called abortion "a moral evil, at a par with slavery." 

The New Orleans area deserves an elected official who will stand up for a woman's right to choose--not try to eliminate it. Help elect Cedric Richmond to Congress - and make sure you know all about voting by mail, where your polling location is, and early voting - and score another pro-choice pickup in Louisiana.
