The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), a pro-life organization, endorsed former State Sen. Dick Brewbaker (R-Montgomery) in the runoff for Alabama's second congressional district.
"We look forward to working with you in Congress," NRLC president Carol Tobias stated in a letter to Brewbaker. "Thank you for joining us in building an America where the lives of unborn babies are protected and their mothers receive the support they need to make life-affirming decisions."
Tobias mentioned some of Brewbaker's pro-life stances, which bar federal dollars from being spent on abortions and support legislation such as the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.
"I am happy to receive the endorsement of National Right to Life – like me they are committed conservatives," Brewbaker said. "Their endorsement, along with Eagle Forum and others, lets voters know who the real conservative in the race is."
Brewbaker also opposes the Women's Health Protection Act, which he believes is an "extreme pro-abortion bill that would enshrine unlimited abortion in federal law and eliminate existing protections on the state level including parental involvement laws."
Caroleene Dobson, a Montgomery attorney, is Brewbaker's opponent. Dobson has also taken a conservative, pro-life stance during her campaign.
"As a lifelong conservative, wife, and mother, I am pro-life and will fight for the rights of the unborn," she says.
The Republican primary runoff is set for April 16.
