KT McFarland on Abortion

Republican Challenger

Supports abortion rights

In recruiting Ms. McFarland, Republicans are to some extent reaching back to their original theory that the best challenger to Mrs. Clinton is another tough, telegenic woman who supports abortion rights and may keep some female votes in play. Jeanine Pirro was supposed to fit that gender profile, and the state party so favored her that a respected Republican, Edward F. Cox, a lawyer and son-in-law of President Richard M. Nixon, bowed out of the race last fall. But Ms. Pirro foundered. Source: Patrick Healy, New York Times, p. A1 Mar 3, 2006
