  • Pataki defends veto of bill easing contraception access 

    ALBANY - A bill to allow women and girls greater access to emergency contraception was, as promised, vetoed Thursday by Gov. George E. Pataki, who critics say turned against his long-standing pro-choice roots in order to appeal to conservative Republicans as he ponders a 2008 White House run.
    But Pataki said he would still back a bill expanding the availability of morning-after pills if it has certain safeguards he said are vital, such as restricting teen girls' prescription-free access to the drugs.
    The governor, under fire from women's organizations that have backed his abortion rights positions over the years, insisted the veto does not represent a shift in his ideology on the issue. He said his veto "is based solely on a desire to protect the health and safety of our youngest and most vulnerable women." http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20050805/1061345.asp

  • 9/12/2005 Gov. George Pataki heads to Iowa Monday on the first leg of a trip to China and Japan to promote New York businesses to Asian businessmen and government officials.

    Pataki is scheduled to deliver a keynote address Tuesday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to a local chamber of commerce. His stop in Iowa, an early primary state, has fueled speculation that Pataki wants to keep his name in the pool of potential national Republican candidates for 2008.
