NARAL chief to drop in

Nancy Keenan has pretty good timing.

With a debate raging in the Democratic gubernatorial primary over who is most pro-choice, the timing of the visit of the national NARAL chief couldn't be better, Rob Christensen reports.

Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, will be in North Carolina next week. She wil attend a luncheon in Greensboro on Monday and a lunch Tuesday at the Raleigh home of  Billy Brewer and Jo Anne Sanford, the former chairman of the state Utilities Commission.

In recent weeks, Lt.  Gov. Beverly Perdue and state Treasurer Richard Moore, the Democratic candidates for governor, have been arguing over who has a better record protecting women's abortion rights.

NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina is not endorsing either candidate.
