Former Pro-Abortion Liberal Now Leads Conservative Pro-Family Values In Arizona

(I-Newswire) April 21, 2010 - Phoenix, AZ – 04/15/2010 – Many who know Cathi Herrod only as the fast-talking head of Center for Arizona Policy (CAP) know only one side of the story. They know Herrod as she is today: strong, outspoken, and fiercely conservative. What many don’t know is her previous life as a liberal pro-abortion feminist.

A Phoenix-based ministry is offering an opportunity for women to hear Cathi Herrod, president of Center for Arizona Policy, explain her radical shift from liberal to conservative, from pro-choice to pro-life. In a women's luncheon on Saturday, May 1, Herrod will tell her story of how she moved from a left-leaning feminist to where she is today, helping to shape state policy on some of Arizona's most divisive issues.

As Herrod stated in a 2007 interview, "What goes on at the Arizona Capitol and in Washington D.C. impacts our lives each and every day. . .Social issues such as abortion and marriage affect the world our children are going to be in," she says.

Fast facts about Cathi Herrod:

• On Jan. 18, 2010, the Arizona Capitol Times named Center for Arizona President Cathi Herrod as one of the main people with "juice" or influence at the state legislature. One insider told the Capitol Times reporter that Herrod and her team "ran the table...when other lobbyists were playing defense."
• In 2009, CAP President Cathi Herrod was named one of the ten "Most Influential Arizonans of the Decade" by the Arizona Capitol Times. "As leader of the social conservative Center for Arizona Policy," the article states, "Herrod has successfully shaped state policy on some of the most divisive issues of the last decade. Whether it was her efforts to restrict abortion or the successful ballot measure in 2008 defining marriage between a man and a woman, Herrod has tirelessly led the fight."
• In 2008, Cathi Herrod was recognized by Dr. James Dobson's Focus on the Family Action. The organization awarded her their "Family Champion Award.
