Mitt Romney Endorsed by PAC
The Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation PAC endorsed Republican Mitt Romney for President, citing his commitment to protecting preborn children and their mothers from harm and his opposition to the federal health care law. National Right to Life’s PAC also endorsed Romney. “Like most Americans, Mitt Romney believes that Obamacare should be repealed,” said Maria Gallagher, PA Pro-Life Federation PAC Director. “Obamacare is bad medicine, and it would mean that Americans would be denied life-saving treatment by a bunch of Washington bureaucrats.” Romney also opposes taxpayer funding of abortion–a stand supported by the vast majority of Americans, according to national public opinion polls.

Pro-Abortion NARAL Gives Pennsylvania “F” Grade
Every year, the pro-abortion group NARAL issues a report card for each of the states, giving “A” grades to the states that have little to no limitations to abortion-on-demand. States that have protective laws for unborn children and their mothers are given an “F.” Once again, Pennsylvania has earned an “F” grade.
At the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, we wear that “F” as a badge of honor. It means the laws we worked so hard to pass are having an effect. It also means local chapters of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation and pregnancy resource centers across the state are having a huge impact on reducing the number of abortions and providing essential aid to mothers-in-need.
Check out the NARAL Report Card.

Watch the video: Story of Family Raising Down Syndrome Child Goes Viral
The Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation recently awarded its 2011 Leadership Award to the Kondrich family from Pittsburgh for their advocacy on behalf of children with special needs. The Kondrich family was changed forever when daughter Chloe was born with Down Syndrome. Chloe brought immeasurable joy to the Kondrich family and it became heart-wrenching for them to imagine that 9 in 10 children like Chloe are never given a chance at life. The Kondrich family felt compelled to raise awareness about the value of each and every human life.
It’s encouraging to see families boldly standing up for these children. Hopefully their examples will touch the hearts of others and transform our culture into one that embraces each human life as a joy and a gift.
