Boom — from the National Right to Life headquarters in Washington:
“Ed Gillespie is a strong advocate for life. As governor, he would support and sign pro-life legislation, including legislation to protect an unborn child from abortion at the point he or she can feel pain, and he opposes using taxpayer dollars to pay for abortion,” said David N. O’Steen, Ph.D., executive director of the National Right to Life Committee. “National Right to Life looks forward to working with him in Virginia to implement pro-life policies to protect unborn children from abortion, and medically dependent or disabled persons, whose lives are threatened by euthanasia.”
Not a small endorsement, one that will go out to tens of thousands of pro-life churches and parishes around Virginia and millions more pro-life conservatives.
Given the fact that both Northam and Perriello have wrapped their arms around the abortion industry, Gillespie’s quiet-yet-noble heroics on pro-life values are going to provide a welcome contrast.
