ELECTIONS MATTER!
In 2014, pro-life citizens have a tangible opportunity to oust
current pro-abortion leadership at the state and federal levels.
Before you vote, it is important to consider the pro-life integrity
of individual political candidates. Perhaps it is even more imperative that you consider how your vote for an individual candidate affects the current Democratic majority and its proabortion leadership. For over 40 years the Kentucky Right to
Life PAC has remained a bi-partisan organization and this PAC
Alert affirms we remain so today. Regrettably, however, the
two relevant political parties are fundamentally at odds on the
issue of protecting innocent human life in principle and in practice.
Republican Platform: “...we assert the inherent dignity and
sanctity of all human life and affirm that the unborn child has a
fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed.
We support a human life amendment to the Constitution, and we
endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children.”
Democratic Platform: “The Democratic Party strongly and
unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to
choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and
we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right.
