As the nation awoke yesterday to news of President Obama’s Supreme Court pick, news outlets sought Americans United for Life President Charmaine Yoest for commentary on what significance Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination has for pro-life Americans.
Video coverage by the Associated Press highlighted Dr. Yoest’s assessment of the nominee’s judicial temperament. The AUL President appears at 1:23 of the following clip.
Dr. Yoest was also interviewed at length for Breitbart.tv’s 5 p.m. newscast.
Other news outlets that featured AUL’s take on the nomination included:
- The Associated Press: “Sotomayor: A liberal record . . . but not entirely so“
- CNN: “Obama nominates Sotomayor to Supreme Court“
- ABC News: “Some Voices Rise Against Sotomayor’s Nomination“
- National Review Online: “Bench Memos.” NRO blogger Kathryn Jean Lopez notes that, in the face of liberal kudos for Judge Sotomayor, Dr. Yoest — unlike the Republican National Committee — decided that now is not the time to be neutral.
