The following statement is from Steve Rupp, President of Missouri Right to Life:

Today, the Missouri Right to Life State Political Action Committee released its endorsements in the 2020 Missouri Senate primary elections.

Missouri is one of the leading pro-life states in the nation in terms of their legislative efforts to protect innocent human life. Electing pro-life legislators is critical to passing life-saving legislation. That’s why these endorsements and voting for these MRL PAC endorsed candidates is critical.

The Missouri Right to Life Political Action Committees are very focused in their intent to help elect the best candidates to promote protection for innocent human life here in Missouri. Every race and candidate are analyzed to make the best decision in favor of life.

I am very proud of the work our MRL PACs do and the difficult decisions that sometimes need to be made. The MRL State PAC was very unified in these decisions and all the votes taken for these endorsements were unanimous.

Missouri House endorsements will be released later this week.
