Statement from NARAL Pro-Choice Pennsylvania on NARAL Pro-Choice America's Endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President

PHILADELPHIA, May 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, NARAL Pro-Choice America endorsed Senator Barack Obama for President.

This decision was made internally by NARAL Pro-Choice America, based in Washington D.C., and without the consultation of the NARAL state affiliates across the country.

NARAL Pro-Choice Pennsylvania will not be issuing an endorsement at this time. NARAL Pro-Choice Pennsylvania believes that this endorsement in the Democratic primary is premature. We are fortunate to have two pro-choice candidates in Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and Senator Barack Obama. When a nominee is named, NARAL Pro-Choice Pennsylvania will stand proudly with the pro-choice Democratic candidate in order to defeat anti-choice Republican candidate John McCain in November.
