Lt.  Gov. Beverly Perdue's record on abortion is being criticized by her Democratic opponent.

"I am uncomfortable with Beverly Perdue's wavering position on choice," writes Stephanie Dorko, finance director for state Treasurer Richard Moore, who faces Perdue in next May's Democratic primary for governor. "Over the course of her public career, she has taken a variety of conflicting positions on a women’s right to choose."

Dorko wrote the email in response to receiving an invitation to join Women for Perdue, Rob Christensen reports.

Dorko wrote that Perdue, as Senate Appropriations chair in 1995, cut the abortion fund for poor women by 96 percent. She quoted a Charlotte Observer editorial which said her 1995 performance shows she "lets politics, not principle govern her performance."
