I’m not quit sure why my conservative friends haven’t explained why Thompson is taking every pro-life endorsement. Doesn’t Romney care about this issue?

CITIZENS FOR LIFE MAKES ENDORSEMENT:
“FRED THOMPSON FOR PRESIDENT!”

Citizens for Life, the New Hampshire affiliate of the National Right to Life Committee, today joins with NRLC and sister pro-life organizations from South Carolina to California in endorsing former Senator Fred Thompson for President of the United States.

“Granite State voters like no-nonsense candidates who stand up for their beliefs. Fred Thompson is such a candidate,” said Roger Stenson, Citizens for Life Executive Director. “Fred Thompson had a 100% pro-life voting record as a member of the United States Senate. For all of us who care about the dignity and sanctity of human life and the most basic freedom upon which our nation was founded – the right to life – Fred Thompson is a leader of great promise.”

Fred Thompson has had a strong, consistent pro-life record throughout his political career. He has routinely stated his opposition to abortion and his belief that the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, which allows abortion for any reason, was wrongly decided and should be reversed. During his years in the United States Senate, he always opposed using tax dollars to promote or pay for abortion and supported the many pro-life measures such as parental notice and consent.

Thompson has also stated his opposition to the kind of stem cell research that requires killing human embryos, while supporting the kind of stem cell research that harms no one and is the only kind producing cures.

We know that each abortion results in the death of a child, and a family is forever changed. Nearly 50 million babies have been aborted in the United States since 1973.

“The majority of the country is opposed to the vast majority of abortions and Fred Thompson has shown by his consistent pro-life voting record that he is firmly in the pro-life majority. Citizens for Life is confident in Senator Thompson’s resolve to protect and defend the most defenseless among us: our unborn children. We are proud to endorse Fred Thompson for President of the United States,” Stenson added.

Citizens for Life is the New Hampshire affiliate of the National Right to Life Committee, the nation’s major pro-life organization.
