NOW supports foster nominations for Surgeon General

Article Abstract:

The National Organization for Women (NOW) has expressed its support for Dr. Henry Foster's nomination as US Surgeon General. NOW Pres. Patricia Ireland said that Dr. Foster's nomination should be confirmed by the Senate since the physician has already proven himself as a staunch supporter of abortion rights. She also criticized the right wing groups which have been attacking the Nashville physician in public by saying that abortion is a legal medical procedure and that every woman has the right to avail of this procedure.
