Camino PR client NLIRH makes the Wall Street Journal today!
July 21, 2009 by Admin
National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health (NLIRH) announcement of its support for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor got picked up in the Wall Street Journal Washington Wire. NLIRH is the only latina reproductive health and justice advocacy group to date to be quoted in any national news outlets on the nomination. We expect Silvia Henriquez and her team to stay in the spotlight as Judge Sotomayor moves closer to making history on the Supreme Court. And the timing couldn’t be more perfect - NLIRH celebrates its 15th anniversary at a major Washington DC gala just as the new Supreme Court begins their work in October. The “Quincineara” celebration for NLIRH marks a new coming-of-age for the Latino/a civil rights movement, and seeing Judge Sotomayor starting her new job will be a fitting tribute to NLIRH’s 15 years of leadership. http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2009/07/21/after-waiting-weeks-abortion-rights-group-backs-sotomayor/

Congratulations to Planned Parenthood for their groundbreaking research on increasing patient health and safety, just published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Leading health reporters nationwide are publishing articles about Planned Parenthood’s proactive work. Columbia University professor Beverly Winikoff is quoted in the Associated Press story, “this is the first really huge documentation of how safe and effective medical abortion is. The technology is very good and very well used in this country, and probably will be used more.”
Camino PR is dedicated to supporting access to safe, reliable medical care. We are proud to support Planned Parenthood’s work.
