CFAW President Faye Wattleton quoted in Associated Press article on uniting America in politics

"Each of Super Tuesday’s main survivors pledges, if elected, to reach across party lines and bring the nation together. It’s a familiar but often futile promise, leaving Americans to wonder if divisiveness will again prevail or if - just maybe - a window is open for a more civil, constructive era,” writes David Crary in a post Super Tuesday article for the Associate Press. CFAW President Faye Wattleton is quoted in Uniting America: Easier Said Than Done.

Wattleton is quoted as follows:

“People should have a historic perspective on how deep and difficult these issues are,” said Faye Wattleton, a former head of Planned Parenthood who is now president of the Center for the Advancement of Women. “You can’t just declare, ‘Now we’ll all come together,’ and people will lay down their swords.”
