Text of press release:
"STATEMENT ON MITT ROMNEY'S SELECTION OF REP. PAUL
RYAN FOR HIS VICE-PRESIDENTIAL RUNNING MATE
Washington, D.C., Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America,
issued the following statement regarding former Gov. Mitt Romney's
selection of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) as his vice-presidential running
mate. "Rep. Paul Ryan's extreme anti-choice record shows just how
serious a threat Mitt Romney's presidency would be for women," Keenan
said. "He has cast 59 votes on reproductive rights while in Congress and
not one has been pro-choice. Rep. Ryan has also repeatedly voted to
defund family-planning programs and supported the "Let Women Die Bill,"
which would allow hospitals to refuse to provide a woman emergency,
lifesaving abortion care, even if she could die without it. It comes as
no surprise that Romney would choose a like-minded running mate who is
just as out of touch with our nation's values and priorities as he is.
The Romney-Ryan ticket is dangerous to women's health." Rep. Ryan's
anti-choice record includes: Repeatedly voting to deny women in the
military, who defend our freedom overseas, the right to use their own,
private funds for abortion care at military hospitals. Repeatedly voting
to defund Planned Parenthood, which would deny millions of women access
to comprehensive reproductive-health care and preventive services.
Cosponsoring and repeatedly voting for the Federal Abortion Ban, a law
that criminalizes some abortion services, endangers women's health, and
carries a two-year prison sentence for doctors. Voting for an
appropriations bill that defunded Planned Parenthood, eliminated the
Title X family-planning program, and reinstated the D.C. abortion ban.
The occupant of the White House wields more power over reproductive
rights than any other person. The U.S. Constitution and American
tradition give the president a wide variety of means to influence the
laws and policies that govern freedom of choice. Depending on who
occupies the office, that unique authority can be used either to protect
or to take away reproductive rights. "Mitt Romney's choice of Rep. Ryan
as his running mate reminds us of why elections matter when it comes to
our ability to make personal and private medical decisions," Keenan
continued. "The outcome of the 2012 presidential election very well
could determine whether abortion remains legal and accessible for the
next generation of American women. Romney has pledged that taking away
women's rights will be a priority for him and his choice of Ryan
amplifies that promise to the extreme anti-choice backers of this
ticket. My organization's priority is to make sure President Obama
remains in the White House."
