LABRADOR: A vote for life

Raul Labrador needs to be Idaho’s next Governor. The most important issue in this race for me is life. Life is the ultimate cause — the ultimate right — and Raul has been consistently pro-life for his entire life.

Raul Labrador’s pro-life stance has been recognized nationally - with his 100% rating from the National Right to Life Committee. Raul’s commitment to life has been recognized locally by Idaho Right to Life and Idaho Chooses Life. No other candidate in the Governor’s race can claim these recognitions.

Raul has shown his meddle on this issue as is evidenced by his co-sponsorship of a bill in the House of Representatives, the “Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act”, which would have made it a federal crime for those that perform abortions on a fetus that has been in utero for 20 weeks or more. The bill has compassion for the women - penalties are not against the women undergoing abortion but rather are levied against the providers - and there are provisions to protect the women against pregnancies that threaten their lives or are the results for incest or rape. These are the right approaches. Ultimately the “Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act” shows compassion for the baby and the mother - but not for those who willingly abort a fetus that can actually feel and experience the pain of the abortion procedure.

Raul is committed to give a voice to the voiceless, power to the powerless and hope for the hopeless.
