The National Right to Life Committee has endorsed Marsha Blackburn, a pro-life representative, in the upcoming U.S. Senate election in Tennessee. Blackburn is set to face off against former governor Phil Bredesen, a Democrat, in the general election on November 6th.
“National Right to Life wholeheartedly endorses Marsha Blackburn, whose unwavering commitment to protecting the lives of unborn children aligns perfectly with the values of Tennessee’s voters,” said Carol Tobias, National Right to Life president. “There is a stark contrast between Marsha Blackburn, who champions legal protection for unborn children, and Phil Bredesen, who supports a policy of abortion on demand. As governor, Bredesen wouldn’t even sign a pro-life license plate law to raise funds for pregnancy resource centers.”
Representative Marsha Blackburn is the primary sponsor of H.R. 4712, which is known as the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. This bill, if passed, would require that any infant born alive during an abortion procedure receive the same level of care as any other newborn of the same gestational age.
Additionally, Marsha Blackburn has expressed her support as a co-sponsor and voted in favor of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. This legislation aims to safeguard unborn children by prohibiting abortions after 20 weeks, a stage at which the fetus is capable of experiencing significant pain if subjected to procedures like dismemberment or other late abortion methods.
Throughout her tenure in Congress, Representative Blackburn has consistently demonstrated her commitment to pro-life values, with a voting record of 100% in favor of protecting the lives of unborn children. She has expressed her strong opposition to abortion on demand and has advocated for the responsible use of taxpayer funds for abortion services.
