Pro-Life Wisconsin Victory Fund Announces

2006 Candidate Endorsements

 

Candidate endorsements by Pro-Life Wisconsin Victory Fund political action committee (PAC) are now available to be viewed on the web at http://www.prolifewisconsin.org/pdf/2006PACendorsements2.pdf.  The Victory Fund PAC has endorsed a total of fifty candidates for state office in the upcoming fall primary and general elections.  Included on the endorsement page is a message on what it means to be "100 % pro-life."

 

"We are pleased to be able to endorse these candidates who proudly support the ‘no exceptions' pro-life philosophy," said Mary Matuska, president of the Pro-Life Wisconsin Victory Fund PAC.  "Only when we have lawmakers who will not discriminate against those preborn children who are politically unpopular - those conceived in rape or incest, for example - will we see an end to the scandal of abortion."

 

Pro-Life Wisconsin Victory Fund supports candidates for public office who demonstrate a commitment to protect each and every innocent human life - in all circumstances and at all stages of development.  To be "100% pro-life" is to know that a human life begins at fertilization and to therefore understand that there may never be a legal exception to an innocent child's inalienable right to life.  Accordingly, it requires defending the child conceived in rape, the child whose mother's life is perceived to be in danger, the disabled preborn baby, the tiny embryo vulnerable to experimental research, or the "terminally ill" patient who is viewed as a "burden" on society.

 

"We are called to stand behind these candidates who are willing to stand behind 100% of the babies," said Matuska.  "Pro-Life Wisconsin has held high the banner of total protection for all preborn children, and thankfully, more and more candidates for elected office meet this standard."

2006 Elections:  What does it mean to be "100% pro-life"?

 

Around election time, the true colors of the pro-life movement come into sharp relief.  Unfortunately, embarrassing contradictions are often revealed.  For many years, some pro-life organizations and activists have allowed the politicians to define what it means to be "pro-life."  To those who are actively involved in the pro-life struggle on a daily basis, "pro-life" means defending each and every innocent human life at all stages of development and in all circumstances, including those whom it is not "politically correct" to protect - the child conceived in rape, the child whose mother's life is perceived to be in danger, the disabled preborn baby, or the "terminally ill" who are viewed as "burdens" on society.  It is clear that life begins at conception/fertilization, so it is clear that there may never be an exception to an innocent child's right to life.

 

For additional copies or for more information, please call Pro-Life Wisconsin at (262) 796-1111

 

Some pro-lifers have made the mistake of allowing the candidates to define what it is to be "pro-life."  Just because a candidate supports regulating abortion or opposes taxpayer funding of abortion, yet supports the killing of some preborn children does not make him or her "pro-life."  A "pro-life" candidate cannot pick and choose which children should have the right to life and which children can be killed - that is not pro-life.  We are called to stand behind those candidates who are willing to stand behind 100% of the babies and to challenge and educate those who don't believe every child has a right to live.  Above all, let's pray that God will soften the hearts of the candidates to the truth about the sanctity of life.  And pray that pro-lifers will stand firm and not compromise our God-given principles.
