Missouri Right to Life Federal Political Action Committee Endorses Mitt Romney for President

The following statement can be attributed to Pam Fichter, MRL-PAC President:

Missouri Right to Life Federal Political Action Committee (MRL-PAC) announces its endorsement and support for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, Republican candidate for United States President.  MRL-PAC is the most experienced and successful statewide pro-life organization that endorses political candidates on the state and federal level, having served Missourians from the mid 1970′s to today.

We join a growing number of leading pro-life advocates, including the National Right to Life Committee PAC, who believe Mr. Romney will be a strong advocate for Life in the role of Chief Executive.

Mitt Romney represents a profound contrast to the policies and practices of Barack Obama in regard to the sanctity of human life.  His commitment to lead pro-life Americans in our efforts to stop the abortion mandates in Obamacare is a solid reason to ask Missourians to support Mitt Romney for election in November.

Pro-life Missourians understand the urgency of electing a president who values human life.  Four more years of a President Obama cannot be an option for anyone who values life.  Mitt Romney wants to see the federal government defund Planned Parenthood.  Mitt Romney wants to see Roe V. Wade overturned.  Mitt Romney wants to see the prospect of rationed care and “death panels” disappear – never to return.

Missouri Right to Life Political Action Committee Announces Endorsements for November General Election

Missouri Right to Life today released their Political Action Committee’s endorsements for the November 2 General Election. These endorsements are based on the criteria established by the MRL PAC and are explained on the PAC website at www.missourilifepac.org.

“It has never been more important for voters to know where both Federal and State candidates stand on the life issues,” said President Pam Fichter. “We are in the midst of the most anti-life administration in our country’s history. This election represents a tremendous opportunity to return a pro-life majority to the U.S. Congress.
