ROCKINGHAM - As part of the ongoing mission of the Richmond Observer to provide expansive coverage of political developments, we offer the following news release from congressional candidate Mark Harris:
Our campaign received the endorsement from the National Right to Life. Please see their letter below.
Dear Dr. Harris,
National Right to Life is pleased to endorse you for election to the U.S. House of Representatives, to represent the 9th congressional district of North Carolina.
You are a strong advocate for life. You support pro-life legislation, including the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would protect unborn children by prohibiting abortion at 20 weeks, a point by which the unborn child is capable of experiencing great pain when being killed by dismemberment or other late abortion methods.
You oppose the use of federal funds for abortion.
In contrast, your opponent, Dan McCready, supports a policy of abortion on demand.
This endorsement reflects your commitment to strengthening a culture of life throughout the nation and in the U.S. Congress.
We look forward to working with you to protect the most vulnerable members of the human family – unborn children and medically dependent or disabled persons, whose lives are threatened by abortion or euthanasia.
All voters who are concerned with the right to life and with the protection of the most vulnerable members of the human family should vote to send you to Congress, so that you can work to advance vital pro-life public policies.
