NARAL Pro-Choice backs Obama

NEW YORK (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama has won the endorsement of
NARAL Pro-Choice America. The leading abortion rights advocacy
organization has supported rival Hillary Rodham Clinton throughout
her political career.

The organization was set to announce the endorsement of its
political action committee Wednesday.

NARAL president Nancy Keenan said in a statement: "Today, we
are proud to put our organization's grassroots and political
support behind the pro-choice candidate whom we believe will secure
the Democratic nomination and advance to the general election. That
candidate is Senator Obama."

Officials said NARAL's political committee board was about
evenly divided among Clinton and Obama supporters and that the
decision to endorse was hard fought. Ultimately, the board voted
unanimously Friday to support the Illinois senator.
