If EMILY's List Supports a Candidate, What Does That Tell You?(Brief Article)
If the political action committee (PAC) known as EMILY's List is directing money to a candidate for public office, you can be sure of three things:
* The candidate is a woman.
* The candidate is a Democrat.
* The candidate opposes any and all limitations on abortion and supports full tax funding of abortion.
EMILY's List is usually described as a PAC organized to help elect Democratic women who support abortion. EMILY's List specializes in "bundling" -- that is, funneling large numbers of contributions from individual donors to the candidates to whom it awards slots on its "list." But to get on the list, it is not sufficient just to generally support legal abortion or Roe v. Wade.
EMILY's List helped elect two women U.S. senators, Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and Blanche Lincoln Lambert (D-Ar.), in 1996 and 1998, respectively.
In 1999, the Senate considered the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. Both Landrieu and Lambert first voted for a "substitute amendment" that would have gutted the ban -- but when that attack failed, they also voted to pass the ban. That was enough to get them excommunicated by EMILY's List.
