Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jim Mat
tox called on opponent Ann Richards to apol
ogize Thursday to blacks and Hispanics for a re
mark she appeared to make while discussing
abortion during the Democrats’ televised debate.
“Every time she is allowed to speak in public
without a script or without one or her handlers
speaking for her, she ends up making a terrible
mistake,” Mattox charged.
At issue was an answer Richards, the Demo
cratic primary front-runner, gave to a question
during the Wednesday night debate.
Early in the debate Richards said she would
veto a bill that would forbid abortions for girls 16
years of age or younger.
“I cannot arrive at any conclusion but that no
legislator, no judge and no bureaucrat has any
business in determining whether a white woman
has an abortion or not,” she appeared to say.
After the debate Richards said she didn’t recall
exactly what word she used, but added that
“white women ... is not a phrase that I use. I think
what I said was ‘why women.’ ”
Monte Williams, Richards’ campaign press sec
retary, said the candidate was saying “whether or
why” — not white — in her answer.
Neither of her debate opponents — Mattox
and former Gov. Mark White — questioned Rich
ards about the remark during the debate, nor did
any of the panelists who were posing questions to
the three candidates. But the subject came up
during a news conference after the debate.
But Thursday, Mattox said he thinks many
Texans were insulted by her comment.
“Based on the calls in my campaign office,
both by the press and by the public, it’s very evi
dent that a great number of people in the state of
Texas were offended by her performance,” Mat
tox said.
“When they let her off the leash, so to speak,
and let her deal with the public and to open ques
tions, she almost invariably makes a mistake,” he
said.
Williams said the campaign would respond to
Mattox’s criticism later in the day.
