National Right to Life Endorses Mark Moores for Congress

Apr 30, 2021 | 2021 Press Releases, Press Releases, Press Room

WASHINGTON — National Right to Life, the nation’s largest pro-life group with affiliates in all 50 states and over 3,000 local chapters nationwide, has endorsed Mark Moores in the June 1st special election to the U.S. House of Representatives, to represent the 1st Congressional District of New Mexico.

“National Right to Life is pleased to endorse Mark Moores for election to the U.S. House,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “Mark Moores supports compassionate proposals to safeguard unborn children and their mothers from the pain of abortion.”

The contrast between the Republican and Democrat congressional candidates could not be clearer.

Mark Moores supports the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. This legislation would protect unborn children 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.

Mark Moores opposes using your tax dollars to pay for abortion, and he opposes taxpayer funding of abortion providers.

By stark contrast, his opponent, Melanie Stansbury, supports a policy of abortion on demand, which allows abortion for any reason, and she supports using tax dollars to pay for abortion.

Melanie Stansbury has voted in favor of abortion on demand in the New Mexico legislature, while Mark Moores has consistently voted for the right to life.

“Mark Moores will work to see that all innocent human life is protected, and he is committed to strengthening a culture of life throughout the nation and in the U.S. House,” said Tobias. “We look forward to working with Mark Moores to protect the most vulnerable members of the human family.”

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.
