Pro-Life Groups in Missouri, Florida, Washington Wyoming Make Endorsements

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—Pro-life organizations in four states have made their primary election endorsements. Right to Life groups in Missouri, Florida, Washington and Wyoming have relied on candidate surveys and voting records to make the best selections for the primary elections. Missouri Right to Life is backing Blaine Luetkemeyer and Lyndon Bode in primaries in the 9th Congressional district and has made numerous endorsements for the state legislature. The Florida Right to Life PAC is endorsing Congressional candidates Ric Keller in the 8th district, Bill Posey in the 15th and Tom Feeney in the 24th. The group has also made numerous state senate and house endorsements. In Washington state, the pro-life group Human Life is getting behind Congressional candidates Rick Bart, Christine Webb, Doc Hastings, Cathy McMorris Rogers and Steve Beren. The group also says Michael Delavar and Kurt Erickson are pro-life candidates. The group also featured a statement from pro-life candidate Dino Rossi, who is running for governor. Rossi says, “My wife Terry and I are both Catholic, and we believe that every soul has value. I will never change my stance on life issues to be elected to public office.” Rossi is facing strongly pro-abortion Gov. Christine Gregoire, who has received the endorsement of key abortion activists. Finally, in Wyoming, Right to Life of Wyoming has endorsed former state treasurer Cynthia Lummis for Congress and notes that candidate Rick Gordon has donated to pro-abortion candidates in the past. The group also backs John McCain for president and incumbent pro-life Senators Mike Enzi and John Barasso for re-election.
