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.
