Fordham University Honoring Congressman with 100% NARAL Rating
(9/12/08) Says it will take "enormous courage" to "face down powerful opponents of choice"
The Rev. Joseph McShane, S.J., President of Fordham University, and The Fordham Club of Washington, D.C., are inviting alumni to attend an annual dinner honoring Congressman John Lewis of Georgia “for his distinguished public service to the nation” on September 18. Lewis, who has received a 100% pro-choice rating from NARAL, compared the civil rights battles for racial equality with the fight to keep abortion legal. “It took tremendous courage for the heroes of yesterday’s civil rights battles to stand on the front lines of the struggle for full citizenship for blacks. It will take enormous courage for America’s pro-choice majority to face down powerful opponents of choice at the clinics and in the state houses, the Congress and the White House. But we can afford to do no less.”
