Lieberman Backs Liberal Social Goals
Presidential contender Joseph Lieberman endorsed several liberal social goals Monday and said he would make them a priority.
Lieberman's four liberal social priorities:· Gay rights: Pledges to sponsor a bill providing benefits to the domestic partners of gay federal employees. Push for legislation barring discrimination in employment based on sexual orientation.
· Affirmative action: Endorsed the University of Michigan admissions program that gives extra points to minority applicants.
· Racial profiling: Would work to ban it.
· Abortion: Denounced banning the procedure called "partial birth abortion." Said it was "a harbinger and a warning" of future threats against the legal right to abortion.
