I've received a few emails wanting me to expound further on the connections between the National Education Association (NEA) and various abortion groups. At first I thought this might not be worth my time--I don't have a great deal of time this week for research and digging through to find the needle in the haystack. But, as it turns out, you don't have to look very hard to see evidence of NEA's connections to abortion groups.
For example, in 2008 the NEA hosted a conference at their headquarters at which Dr. George Tiller was invited to speak. Dr. George Tiller was a late-term abortionist who has made many inflammatory statements about his pro-abortion beliefs.
Randall Moody was formerly the Chief Lobbyist of the NEA, he was also on the Board of Directors for Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Board of that organization's political wing, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. So the NEA's personnel were inescapably intertwined with the largest abortion provider in America. Did I mention Randall Moody was previously Co-Chairman of "Republicans for Choice" as well? He was.
Not all of the connections are just by people, the Fund for Children and Public Education, a PAC run by the NEA, has given money to a number of organizations dedicated to supporting only pro-abortion women running for office, including both the Democratic "Emily's List" and the Republican "The Wish List". This is money being contributed directly from the NEA to pro-abortion election groups.
This should be an important issue to teachers here in Vermilion Parish because dues for the union are being divvied up between the Vermilion Association of Educators, the Louisiana Association of Educators, and the NEA. I have not met many teachers in Vermilion who would want their dues going toward supporting abortionist organizations.
