Pro-Life Leader Gary Bauer Endorses John McCain for President, Cites Abortion
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Gary Bauer, the former Republican presidential candidate and chairman of pro-family group America's Values, issued an endorsement of John McCain for president on Monday. The pro-life advocate cited McCain's opposition to abortion -- in contrast to the pro-abortion positions of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama -- as a main reason. "John McCain has dedicated his life to defending human rights around the world, including the rights of the unborn," Bauer told LifeNews.com in a statement. "I admire his consistent 24-year pro-life record and demonstrated commitment to the values that keep our families and communities strong," Bauer added. "I am proud to support John McCain for president." McCain said he appreciated the support of the former president of the Family Research Council. "I have long admired Gary's commitment and passion for our shared pro-life and pro-family values," the Arizona senator said in receiving the endorsement. Full story at LifeNews.com.

Planned Parenthood Radio Ad Bashes John McCain for Opposing Abortion
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Planned Parenthood has joined its colleague NARAL in launching an attack on John McCain because of his pro-life position and voting record against abortion. However, the abortion business went further by airing the first advertisement blasting McCain and saying he would oppose abortion as president. The 60-second ad started on Sunday and will air in the Washington, D.C. area through Tuesday as voters in Maryland, Virginia and the nation's capital head to the polls in the next Republican primaries. In the ad, Planned Parenthood's Action Fund says McCain has voted against abortion throughout his entire career and supports overturning Roe v. Wade, which allowed unlimited abortions. The ad attacks McCain, saying he has an “anti-choice” stance on abortion and that his “plan to outlaw abortion threatens the lives and health of women.” “I do not support Roe v. Wade. It should be overturned," the ad says. "That’s John McCain, not Mike Huckabee, and those are his real views. Even though John McCain knows what’s at risk, he wants abortion to be illegal again, just like it used to be," it adds. The radio spot adds that McCain has a “zero percent rating from Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the lowest rating in the US Senate." Full story at LifeNews.com.

Catholic Pro-Life Group Backs John McCain, Democrats "Disastrous" on Abortion
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A Catholic pro-life group has issued an endorsement for John McCain, the Arizona senator who appears likely to become the Republican presidential nominee. The political action committee for Fidelis says McCain is pro-life on abortion and calls the pro-abortion positions of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton "disastrous." Brian Burch, the group's president, told LifeNews.com on Monday that his organization is joining "a growing chorus of conservatives" in backing McCain. "Fidelis believes McCain’s pro-life record [and] his commitment to selecting judges who will respect the Constitution ... merit the support of Catholics," Burch said. "We are proud to stand with him as he prepares for a very difficult election ahead." Although some pro-life advocates have expressed doubt or continue to support GOP candidates Mike Huckabee or Ron Paul, Burch said McCain has a pro-life stance on abortion that pro-life advocates can appreciate. “Senator McCain has amassed a strong pro-life voting record in the United States Senate," he told LifeNews.com. "He has repeatedly called for the overturn of Roe v. Wade, and has pledged to nominate judges that will exercise judicial restraint, and respect the Constitution," the Catholic pro-life advocate added. Full story at LifeNews.com.
