MRL PACs' Candidate Endorsements for August 2, 2016 Primary 
Because of this week's U.S. Supreme Court decision, making your vote count for life has never been more important. Your vote is the voice for innocent unborn children, protection for women who seek abort ion, for preventing taxpayer funding of unethical research and for advancing the cause of life.

The Missouri Right to Life State and Federal Political Action Committee (PAC's) endorsements for the August 2nd Primary Election are now available to be viewed on the MRL PAC website. Endorsements are based on voting records (see links below) of sitting legislators as well as survey responses, interviews, public statements, public record and information from MRL PAC volunteers in the districts.

For the August 2, 2016 primary, Missouri Right to Life Political Action Committee has endorsed Catherine Hanaway, John Brunner and Peter Kinder.
 
Despite numerous requests for a completed survey and for a meeting with Republican gubernatorial candidate Eric Greitens, Missouri Right to Life PAC received no response.

Dave Plemmons, MRL PAC's chair, said the PAC made frequent and repeated attempts to obtain that candidate sur­vey from Mr. Greitens and to meet with the candidate. Those attempts were unsuccessful.

It is disappointing that returning a survey from the larg­est pro-life organization in the state would not be a priority. However, that seems to be the situation and indicates that pro-life voters need to work and vote for one of the MRL PAC-endorsed candidates.

An endorsed candidate will help ensure a pro-life governor.
