National Right to Life Committee Endorses Former Attorney General Jerry Kilgore for Governor of Virginia

Below is the text of an email I received from David Rexrode, RNC Director of Conservative Development:

Last week the National Right to Life Committee endorsed Jerry Kilgore for Governor.

"The endorsement reflects our appreciation for the strong stand Jerry Kilgore has taken on behalf of those members of our human family who are least able to protect themselves. He has stood in defense of both unborn children and the medically disabled whose lives are threatened by abortion or euthanasia," said Carol Tobias in the National Right to Life Committee's release.

The National Right to Life's endorsement announcement went on to say "The fact is, Timothy Kaine supports abortion on demand while Jerry Kilgore is pro-life. Currently in Virginia, abortion is being used as a method of birth control, with practically no limits whatsoever on the procedure. If any voter wants to support the candidate who opposes abortion on demand, who thinks parents have the right to be involved in their minor daughter's abortion decision, and who supports a true ban on partial-birth abortion, they should vote for Jerry Kilgore."

The Democrats in Virginia have nominated what could be the most pro-abortion ticket in history; one that shows their party's true belief on abortion.

Both Creigh Deeds and Leslie Byrne have received a 100% rating from NARAL. In addition, both Creigh Deeds and Leslie Byrne's voted against the Partial Birth Abortion law that was recently struck down by liberal Bill Clinton appointed judges. While Jerry Kilgore and Republicans in the General Assembly were working to ban this gruesome procedure, Tim Kaine, Leslie Byrne, Creigh Deeds and other Democrats were working to keep abortion on demand in Virginia. In fact, almost 70% of Democrats in the House of Delegates and 75% of Democrats in the State Senate voted against banning partial birth abortions.

Despite the misleading statements issued by Democrat Tim Kaine and others who are trying to trick voters, only Jerry Kilgore and the Republican ticket of Bill Bolling for Lt. Governor and Bob McDonnell for Attorney General are going to fight to protect the unborn.
