6 Kentucky Right to Life Association Political Action Committee 134 Breckinridge Lane Louisville, KY Non-Profit Org. U.S. Postage Paid Louisville, KY Permit #1207 ELECTIONS MATTER! In 2014, pro-life citizens have a tangible opportunity to oust current proabortion leadership at the state and federal levels. Before you vote, it is important to consider the pro-life integrity of individual political candidates. Perhaps it is even more imperative that you consider how your vote for an individual candidate affects the current Democratic majority and its pro-abortion leadership. For over 40 years the Kentucky Right to Life PAC has remained a bi-partisan organization and this PAC Alert affirms we remain so today. It is a regrettable fact, however, that the two relevant political parties are fundamentally at odds on the issue of protecting innocent human life in principle and in practice. Republican Platform:...we assert the inherent dignity and sanctity of all human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution, and we endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment s protections apply to unborn children. Democratic Platform: The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman s right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right. In the words of a pro-life Democrat on the Kentucky House floor on the last day of the 2012 legislative session: The only way we re going to pass pro-life legislation is if Republicans take over the House and we elect some pro-life leadership. JUDICIAL RACES Note: As a result of our review, the judicial candidates on the following list are considered pro-life, and worthy of your support and vote. DISTRICT SUPREME COURT Michelle M.
