[Frances Morey]

I think it was me. It originated in Dallas and was sent to me by Linda 
Wetherby. I sent it on to michaele and/or the pair list.

>"Control of the Congress, White House, and by power of appointment, the

>Party has pledged to enact legislation that would criminalize abortion.
>They have committed to an increasingly aggressive campaign. In
>recognition of this, I have found that the abortion-related legislation
>being brought to the House floor no longer reflects my position. Last
>year, I withheld my support from a number of bills.

>I don't believe in abortion. I do, however, believe in choice.
>
>...I believe that women have the right to determine their reproductive
>choices, and I believe that criminalizing abortion is unconstitutional.
>I do not believe that Roe v. Wade should be overturned."
