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."
