National Right to Life Endorses Dan Coats

Sorry, Brad the Beautiful, there's no such thing as compromise when it comes to spending Federal tax dollars to fund abortions.

Dan's the man.

The National Right to Life political action committee, today,announced its endorsement of Dan Coats in his campaign for U.S. Senate from Indiana. Coats has the Republican nomination to face Democratic Rep. Brad Ellsworth, who says he is pro-life but voted for the pro-abortion health care bill.

National Right to Life political director Karen Cross told LifeNews.com Coats has a longstanding pro-life record from his days in Congress.

"As a member of both the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate, Dan Coats was a leading champion for pro-life policies," she said.

"Dan Coats was the author of key pro-life amendments, including a law that prevents the government from penalizing medical training programs for refusing to provide training in abortion. In addition, he was part of successful efforts to curb federal funding of abortion and an early supporter of the successful pro-life campaign to ban partial-birth abortion," Cross said.

The National Right to Life official added, "Coats can be trusted to protect our most vulnerable citizens – our unborn children."

On the other hand, Cross says Ellsworth betrayed his pro-life claims by supporting the government-run health care bill that has massive abortion funding.

"Ellsworth voted to enact President Obama’s pro-abortion health care legislation – legislation which will provide government funding for health plans that pay for abortion on demand, and also contains multiple provisions that will promote the rationing of lifesaving medical treatments," she said.
