As political activists rush to mine Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers’ slender public record, a former campaign manager says she opposed abortion rights while running for Dallas City Council in 1989.
“She is on the extreme end of the anti-choice movement,” said Lorlee Bartos, who managed Miers’ first and only political campaign and said they discussed abortion once during the race.
“I think Harriet’s belief was pretty strongly felt,” Bartos said Monday.
Of course, this is just one person’s recollection. But the fact that Ms. Bartos uses the word “extreme” near the word “anti-choice” is of high, high concern.
Ms. Bartos clearly needs to be called as a witness before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
