Alabama Rep. Martha Roby’s reelection campaign endorsed by National Right to Life Committee

U.S. Representative Martha Roby’s re-election campaign was recently endorsed by the National Right to Life Committee, the nation’s oldest and largest pro-life organization.

Roby, a Republican from Montgomery, has scored a perfect 100 percent prolife voting record since coming to Congress in 2011, according to the committee’s Legislative Action Center.

“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 return Representative Roby to Congress so that she can continue to work to advance vital pro-life public policies,” the organization said in a statement.

Roby’s strong prolife voting record includes:

— Cosponsoring and voting in favor of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, legislation that would ban abortion after 20 weeks.

— Cosponsoring and voting in favor of the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, a bill that would establish a permanent, government wide policy against funding abortions or health insurance plans that cover them.

— Voting to block federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

 I am grateful to the National Right to Life Committee for its unwavering commitment to the pro-life cause,” Roby said in a statement, “I am honored to have the support of this important organization, and I look forward to continuing our work together on behalf of those who cannot fight for themselves.”

The national committee’s state affiliate is Alabama Citizens for Life, according to its website.

Roby is running in the GOP primary against former Montgomery Mayor Bobby Bright, State Rep. Barry Moore, former Roy Moore campaign aide Rich Hobson, and Tommy Amason.

The primary in June 5.
