Statement from Kelli Conlin, President of NARAL Pro-Choice New York, on Senator Malcolm Smith
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Samantha Levine December 10, 2008 646-520-3510 Statement from Kelli Conlin, President of NARAL Pro-Choice New York, on Senator Malcolm Smith “NARAL Pro-Choice New York commends Senator Malcolm Smith for refusing to kowtow to tactical maneuvering by those more interested in power than in the needs of New Yorkers.
"Unfortunately, a handful of senators have chosen to ignore the will of the electorate and are attempting to hijack a State Senate that was moving closer to accurately representing our state’s pro-choice, progressive values. While we are disheartened at the prospect of returning to the minority, the reality is a majority that doesn’t support civil rights is not the majority we – or the women of New York – want. “
