(Washington Examiner) Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., built a fundraising pitch for the pro-choice political action group EMILY’s List around the upcoming Mother’s Day holiday.
“This Mother’s Day, I can’t think of a better way to honor all the mothers in the country — past and present — than with a contribution to EMILY’s List,” Gillibrand wrote in the email [all emphasis original]. “They’re the ones working tirelessly to elect the pro-choice Democratic women who are making sure that our freedoms are protected for generations to come.”
Right, because the best way to honor mom is to make sure she isn’t actually a, you know, mom.
Interestingly, a resolution supporting the goals and ideas of Mother’s day, which was introduced while the Democrats controlled the House, languished in committee for over a year before it was finally voted on.
