It's interesting to note that a look at the NARAL scorecard for Senator Daschle shows he votes with them on more than 85% of important pro-choice (abortion) issues. Planned Parenthood gives Senator Daschle an 80% score.
Also, Daschle used his strong voice to put the general counsel of the National Abortion Federation (no euphemisms there, at least) into an important post in the federal government, according to the Washington Post:
"The President intends to nominate Barbara J. Sapin, of Maryland, to be a member of the Merit Systems Protection Board. . . . Ms. Sapin currently serves as general counsel for the National Abortion Federation in Washington, D.C."A White House spokeswoman noted that this was a Democratic selection to the board, which by law has to include non-Republicans. Sapin, she said, was Democratic "Senator [ Thomas A.] Daschle's pick."
