Georgetown
President John DeGioia is quoted in the press release saying, “Through his
decades of public service, and his thoughtful, careful leadership, Congressman
Dingell has represented the very best of our Georgetown tradition.”
Dingell
earned a 100-percent score in NARAL Pro-Choice America's 2011 Congressional Record
on Choice for his votes on abortion. He reportedly said, "I have voted to
protect a woman's right to choose under Roe
v. Wade and will continue to fight to uphold this constitutionally
protected right."
He
has also “evolved” on gay marriage by co-sponsoring a bill in 2012 to repeal
the Defense of Marriage Act and to ensure federal recognition of same-sex
marriage. Dingell received his bachelor’s degree from Georgetown in 1949 and
his law degree from Georgetown Law School in 1952, just three years before he
became a congressman.
And
we wonder why we are losing!
