IOWA RIGHT TO LIFE COMMITTEE ENDORSES JOHN MCCAIN

DES MOINES—July 22, 2008—The Iowa Right to Life Board of Directors voted to endorse John McCain for President at their Meeting of the Membership on Saturday, July 19.
IRLC refrained from endorsing any candidates earlier in the Presidential race, out of respect for the diverse pro-life candidates running for the Republican nomination. But now, with the race narrowed down to Senator John McCain vs. Senator Barack Obama, IRLC is getting behind McCain, whose pro-life record includes the following:
Voting against federal funding of abortion; supporting the Hyde Amendment
Voting for the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act
Voting for the Infants Born Alive Act, to protect infants born alive during an abortion
Voting for a Parental Notification bill that would have required abortionists to notify a parent before performing an abortion on a minor girl from another state.
“We want to recognize all of the pro-lifers in Iowa who worked so hard on the campaigns of the pro-life candidates in the presidential race,” said Kim Lehman, President of Iowa Right to Life. “We are proud of you and hope you will never lose that fire.”
“John McCain has a good pro-life record and he is committed to nominating judges who are strict constructionalists, in the model of Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito,” said Lehman. “We need pro-lifers to get to the polls in November and support McCain and all our local pro-life candidates.”

John McCain doesn't have a perfect pro-life record. It doesn't have a few flaws. However, Barak Obama has a perfect pro-abortion record.
