Solid pro-life
ticket contrasts
with pro-abortion
ticket
Today the National
Right to Life
Committee praised
John McCain's pick
of pro-life Alaska
Governor Sarah Palin
to be his running
mate.
"We're
thrilled," said
Karen Cross,
National Right to
Life Political
Director.
"Senator McCain has
demonstrated his
dedication to life
in his selection of
Sarah Palin as his
running mate."
National Right to
Life President Wanda
Franz, Ph.D added,
"Governor Palin
brings another
strong pro-life
voice to the
Republican ticket,
in sharp contrast to
the pro-abortion
ticket of Barack
Obama and Joe
Biden."
"We've both been
very vocal about
being pro-life,"
Palin, a mother of
five, said in an
interview shortly
after the birth of
her youngest son
Trig, who has Down
Syndrome. "We
understand that
every innocent life
has wonderful
potential."
The differences
between the McCain/Palin
ticket and the
Obama/Biden ticket
are clear. While
Senator McCain has a
very strong record
on the life issues,
Barack Obama is the
most pro-abortion
candidate ever
nominated by a major
political party.
Senator Obama voted
multiple times to
deny care and
protection to
children born alive
after abortion
attempts. He is also
co-sponsor of an
extreme bill, the
so-called "Freedom
of Choice Act," that
would make
partial-birth
abortion legal again
and require taxpayer
funding of
abortions. For

"The country now has
a clear choice,"
added Darla St.
Martin, Co-Executive
Director of the
National Right to
Life Committee,
"between an avowed
pro-abortion ticket
that would continue
to push for
unrestricted
abortion on demand,
and a strongly
pro-life ticket that
will bring us closer
to a society that
embraces the value
and dignity of human
life."
The National Right
to Life Committee is
the nation's largest
pro-life group with
affiliates in all 50
states and over
3,000 local chapters
nationwide.
National Right to
Life works through
legislation and
education to protect
those threatened by
abortion,
infanticide,
euthanasia and
assisted suicide.
