NARAL Pro-Choice America Responds to Giuliani's Statement on Federal Abortion Ban

Washington, DC – Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, issued the following statement in response to former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s statement expressing his support of the Supreme Court’s decision in the Federal Abortion Ban case.

"We are deeply disappointed that Mr. Giuliani, after years of expressing support for pro-choice policies in word and deed, has come out in favor of a Court decision that undermines Roe v. Wade and protections for women’s health.  Mr. Giuliani has characterized himself as a mainstream Republican upholding the belief in limited government and personal freedom, but he has abandoned those principles just to win a primary.

"We expected such statements from Mitt Romney, Sam Brownback, John McCain, and other anti-choice presidential candidates, but Giuliani had an opportunity to distinguish himself as an advocate for women’s health and privacy. He failed."
