He brought New York Representative Nita Lowey, who has designs on the Democratic Senate nomination; she pledged to step aside if Hillary were to run.

Rep. Nita Lowey, chair of the House Pro-Choice Task Force, was correct when she said in a news conference this week that "the idea that performing a legal, medical procedure could even possible disqualify Dr. Foster is an outrage," but it is certainly understandable that anti-abortion groups might subscribe to that idea...
