Planned Parenthood Advocacy Project's Los Angeles chapter is asking mayoral candidate and billionaire real estate developer Rick Caruso to apologize for funding anti-abortion rights candidates in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's possible decision to overturn the landmark abortion- rights decision Roe v. Wade.
The draft opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, indicates the court privately voted to strike down Roe v. Wade. However, a profile of Caruso in Los Angeles Magazine in July 2007 reported that he said he opposes abortion in most cases, but would support stem cell research.
Political candidates who have worked to reduce people's access to abortion, including Sen. David Vitter, R-LA; Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-KY; Rep. Peter Sessions, R-TX, Rep. Joe Heck, R-NV; and Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-CA, according to Planned Parenthood Advocacy Project's Los Angeles chapter.
