Alabama Citizens for Life, the state affiliate of the National Right to Life Committee, recently announced its support for former Supreme Court Justice Jay Mitchell in his bid to be the next Alabama attorney general (AG).
Mitchell faces Katherine Robertson, the chief counsel in the AG's office, and Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey for the party nomination in the May 19 primary election.
The National Right to Life is the largest and oldest pro-life organization in the country, with affiliates in every state and thousands of local chapters.
President Dan Gardner praised Mitchell’s “second-to-none” leadership on pro-life issues and his record on the Alabama Supreme Court.
“For over 20 years, I’ve been marching in lockstep with Alabama’s pro-life movement, fighting alongside my fellow conservatives to protect the unborn and defend Alabama’s Constitution," Gardner said. "It’s a profound honor to be designated as their ‘Pro-Life Leader’ in this race.”
He continued, “Alabama needs an Attorney General who will go on offense for life. I won’t look the other way while abortion pills flood into our state through the mail. I will enforce the law and prosecute any illegal attempts to expand abortion in the state of Alabama.”
