RIGHT TO LIFE OF MICHIGAN

************************* RLM-PAC rescinds Representative Stupak's endorsement

On Wednesday, March 24, the Right to Life of Michigan political action committee notified U.S. Representative Bart Stupak that his endorsement was rescinded.

In a letter sent to Representative Stupak, the RLM-PAC qualified how the endorsement criteria was no longer met.

Right to Life of Michigan Political Action Committee Director Larry Galmish said: "The letter noted the endorsement had been based on Representative Stupak's voting record, previous interview and completion of a questionnaire in which Representative Stupak indicated he would oppose any efforts to include federally funded abortion in national health care plans; support efforts to specifically exclude federally funded abortion in national health care plans; and be willing to vote against federal funding of abortion except where necessary to save the life of the mother."

On March 21, Representative Stupak failed to meet those requirements by voting for President Barack Obama's health care bill, H.R. 3590.

Galmish said, "In accordance with the Right to Life of Michigan political action committee bylaws and by the March 23 unanimous vote of the RLM-PAC board, the Right to Life of Michigan political action committee rescinded Representative Stupak's endorsement, effective immediately."

Another member of the U.S. House from Michigan who calls himself prolife, yet voted in support of H.R. 3590, is Representative Dale Kildee.

While Represebtative Kildee was endorsed by the Right to Life of Michigan PAC in the past, he did not meet the RLM-PAC criteria in 2008 and was not endorsed by the RLM-PAC in that election.

Representative Kildee does not meet RLM-PAC's definition of prolife.
