MC LEAN, Va., Dec. 20 /Standard Newswire/ -- Today Fred Thompson received the endorsement of the Virginia Society for Human Life, the oldest right to life organization in the country and the state's affiliate of the National Right to Life Committee. This represents the ninth state right to life organization that has followed the lead of the National Right to Life Committee in endorsing Senator Thompson for President.
"Fred Thompson is a stellar candidate for President of the United States," said VSHL President Brenda Fastabend. "Fred Thompson's one hundred percent pro-life voting record compiled during his eight years of service in the U.S. Senate, speaks volumes for his integrity and statesmanship. In the eyes of Virginians 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 for the office of president."
Virginia Society for Human Life, Inc., is a voluntary and non-denominational organization united in the belief that the human being in his innate dignity and worth should be safeguarded by law at every stage of biological development. Through education and legislative activity, the Society's purpose is to promote measures which will insure protection for all innocent human life.
"I'm blessed and honored to have the endorsement of the Virginia Society for Human Life for President of the United States," said Senator Thompson. "Virginia Society for Human Life is the oldest right to life organization in the country, and they know I stood with them yesterday, I stand with them today, and will stand with them tomorrow. VSHL and right to life organizations coast to coast who have endorsed by candidacy know I have the ability to win this election. They know I believe in the sanctity of life and as President I will do all that I can to do to protect life."
Fred Thompson is pro-life. He believes in the sanctity of human life and that every life is worthy of respect. He had a 100% pro-life voting record in the Senate and believes Roe v. Wade was a bad decision that ought to be overturned. He consistently opposed federal funding to promote or pay for abortion and supported the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act, the Child Custody Protection Act, and President Reagan's Mexico City policy. While Fred Thompson supports adult stem cell research, he opposes embryonic stem cell research. He also opposes human cloning.

Hopefully a bit more meaningful than Tacredo’s endorsement.
They sure do! More good news for Fred Thompson.
Bump for Life and for Fred Thompson!
How many does that make now?
It would be a shock if ANY of the state groups endorsed someone other than the guy the national group endorsed, the way the NRTL works.
In fact, if there are any major states that don’t endorse him, you should ask why.
Thompson is a good conservative and pretty good on pro-life issues, and so the VSHL had no reason not to follow the national lead. They’ve endorsed other candidates who support abortion for rape and incest, so that wasn’t really an issue for them.
Last november, they endorsed the democrat for a local state senate seat instead of a much more conservative and pro-life republican, even after the state democrats ran ads in the local guy’s name attacking the republican for being pro-life.

South and North Carolina
Virginia
Minnesota
Vermont
I can’t find more at the moment.
Wisconsin
Did this group also support John Warner for years?
Has any other candidate received a state Right-to-Life endorsement of any kind?
bump!
I believe my stupid GA organization went for the Huckster. I am beyond sickened.
I want real, not contrived, common sense Conservative values in our next president. Smaller government is a must because America cannot sustain the enormous size of this government for much longer. Rights stripped from the States must be returned to the States. The choices the next president makes will be critical to Conservatives relative to the direction of the Supreme Court. Conservatives are so very close to a Court we have all envisioned. FRED THOMPSON will bring that Court to the Conservative Court we all want! That will begin with the overturning of Roe! NOW, it is a matter for each State to decide.
Romney set up a medical insurance program that allows a $50.00 co-pay to take a life? Is that what you want for America?
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! HO! HO! HO!
Heh heh, well it is more votes....
And so that means what Charles...
