Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis (D) muddied her stance on abortion rights this week, telling the Dallas Morning News that she could support some version of a ban on abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. But three of her biggest pro-abortion rights backers — EMILY’s List, Planned Parenthood Action Fund and NARAL Pro-Choice America — did not flinch at the news.
“Abortion later in pregnancy is very rare and often happens under heartbreaking and tragic circumstances, and like the majority of Americans, Wendy Davis believes that these personal health care decisions should be between a woman and her doctor,” said Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of Planned Parenthood Votes. “What’s clear is that Wendy has spent her life standing up for Texas women and their families while [Republican candidate for governor] Greg Abbott has fought to restrict access to safe and legal abortion, and women’s health care.” […]
EMILY’s List, a group dedicated to electing female pro-abortion rights candidates, also stands by its endorsement of Davis. “Wendy Davis has been a consistent champion for Texas women and families –- and she’s the only candidate in this race who will put them first,” said Jess McIntosh, communications director for EMILY’s List. “[Attorney General] Greg Abbott has a shockingly anti-woman agenda and it is mission critical that we continue to tell voters about the crystal clear contrast between these two on this -– and virtually every other -– issue.” […]
NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue did not react to Davis’ comments on Wednesday, but said Davis is still a “champion for women.”
“We believe that decisions around abortion care must remain between a woman and her doctor, and not by politicians,” she said. “Electing Wendy Davis as the next governor of Texas will help advance this cause.”
