WASHINGTON, Nov. 3, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- National Right to Life, the federation of state right-to-life affiliates and local chapters, announced today that its political committees, the National Right to Life Victory Fund and the National Right to Life Political Action Committee, are contacting over 700,000 identified registered pro-life voter households in North Carolina, urging a vote for Roy Blunt for U.S. Senate and Donald Trump for president.

"North Carolina is a pro-life state, and Richard Burr and Donald Trump reflect North Carolina's pro-life values," said Carol Tobias, National Right to Life president. "Richard Burr and Donald Trump will provide a strong voice for the most vulnerable members of our society."

As the National Right to Life observes in its communications to registered pro-life voters, Deborah Ross supports a policy of abortion on demand, which allows abortion for any reason. Deborah Ross, as a North Carolina state representative, worked to continue the use of tax dollars to pay for abortion in North Carolina. 

In contrast, National Right to Life highlights Richard Burr's strong pro-life position. He has a strong pro-life voting record. He supports protection for unborn children, including the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. Blunt opposes using taxpayer dollars to pay for abortion. 

National Right to Life is also urging pro-life voters to support Donald J. Trump for president. He is pro-life and opposes using taxpayer dollars to pay for abortion. He supports the bill to ban abortion after 20 weeks, when the unborn child can feel pain. He opposes dismemberment abortion and partial-birth abortion. Donald Trump has pledged to appoint pro-life justices to the United States Supreme Court.

Hillary Clinton would use taxpayer dollars to pay for abortion on demand. Hillary Clinton voted in favor of partial-birth abortion and supports late abortion after 20 weeks, when the unborn child can feel pain, as well as dismemberment abortion. Hillary Clinton has pledged to appoint only pro-abortion justices to the United States Supreme Court.

"North Carolina voters are concerned about the right to life and with the protection of the most vulnerable members of the human family. A vote for Richard Burr and Donald Trump is a vote to save the lives of innocent unborn children," said Tobias.

Founded in 1968, the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of 50 state right-to-life affiliates and more than 3,000 local chapters, is the nation's oldest and largest grassroots pro-life organization. Recognized as the flagship of the pro-life movement, NRLC works through legislation and education to protect innocent human life from abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Involved in every election since Ronald Reagan's election to the presidency, National Right to Life Political Action Committee (NRL PAC) was formed in 1979 as the political arm of National Right to Life.

The National Right to Life Victory Fund is an independent expenditure political action committee of the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC). NRL Victory Fund is dedicated to electing pro-life leaders.
