Hollywood, CA — The pro-abortion Feminist Majority Foundation on Monday launched its nationwide “Never Go Back” campaign, which aims to keep abortion legal in the United States. And it's receiving help from several of Hollywood's elite actresses and musicians.
Katherine Spillar, executive vice president of the abortion advocacy group who spoke at the campaign launch, said that the Supreme Court could have vacancies as soon as this summer, and those vacancies could threaten Roe v. Wade.
Spillar emphasized the importance of Senate leadership — especially pro-abortion Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD) — in questioning all of President Bush's judicial nominees about their abortion stance and filibustering the nomination of anyone who does not take a stand on abortion rights.
“What a jurist thinks matters. It affects how they vote,” Spillar said.
Actress Amy Brenneman, who was scheduled to be the event's featured speaker but could not attend the meeting for medical reasons, sent a video message to the group of about 50 people saying, “Reproductive freedom is the most important issue facing our leaders today,” adding, “It is not a feminist issue. It is not a liberal issue. It is a women's health issue.”
Other celebrities involved in the 20-state campaign include: Ashley Judd, Whoopi Goldberg, Tyne Daly, Minnie Driver, Cybil Sheppard, Morgan Fairchild, Camryn Manheim, and Gillian Anderson.
