Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- One of the top abortion activists in the United States has signed on to assist former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards as he undertakes a second campaign for president. Kate Michelman, who was the president of NARAL for almost 20 years, will serve as a senior campaign advisor.

Edwards campaigned for the Democratic nomination in 2004 and ran a better race than political observers expected. He wound up the vice presidential nominee running alongside pro-abortion Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry.

Michelman endorsed Kerry's candidacy and was spotlighted in an infamous photo at a pro-abortion rally hugging the candidate.

In her role with the Edwards campaign, Michelman will conduct outreach to women voters. the rest
