A Specter Advisory

The Pennsylvania senior senator again affirms his support for Rick Santorum — even as the anti-Santorum group he advises disregards his concerns.

Sen. Arlen Specter will remain a member of the advisory committee of the Republican Majority for Choice, even after the group continues to attack his Pennsylvania colleague Sen. Rick Santorum — the man to whom he owes his 2004 primary victory.

p>After TAS reported last week that Specter is tied to the pro-abortion group attacking Santorum, Specter issued a statement late last Friday, March 3, decrying their tactics and threatening to resign. That threat was apparently conditional upon the RMC’s future action: br> /p>
I call on the RMC to repudiate and renounce any effort to defeat Senator Santorum.

I will withhold my decision on whether to resign from the RMC’s advisory board until I see what further action RMC takes on this matter.

br> RMC’s next public action was to place an op-ed in Wednesday’s Philadelphia Inquirer lumping Sen. Santorum with South Dakota’s pro-life lawmakers, who enacted a sweeping abortion ban on Monday.
