Miers' Friend "Doubts" She'd Overturn Roe v. Wade

Dallas board of adjustment member/ex-city plan comm. Sharon Boyd who says she is a "close" friend of Miers, appeared on Michelangelo Signorile's radio show on Sirius OutQ channel, said that while Miers is certainly pro-life, "social issues are not her primary expertise or concern." Boyd: "She told me: the more she read about it, the more she learned about the procedures, she just could no longer be pro-choice." Boyd said that if Miers were asked to revisit Lawrence v. Texas, which overturned state sodomy laws, she doubted Miers would vote to allow states to regulate the conduct. Boyd: "She believes in equal rights for everyone." Boyd said Miers had many gay friends and "was not uncomfortable with gay people." When she spoke before a group in 1989, "it was pretty brave for a conservative like Harriet".
