WESLEY CLARK CELEBRATED the 31st anniversary of Roe v. Wade today by appearing at a breakfast fundraiser sponsored by the Planned Parenthood of Northern New England Action Fund. During a brief set of remarks he declared that “no one has a right to come between a woman, her doctor, her family, and her God.”

Establishing his pro-choice bona fides, Clark continued, saying, “I have always been and always will be pro-choice.” (Previously Clark has admitted that he voted for Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush. His first vote for a pro-choice presidential candidate came in 1992 for Bill Clinton.)
