CANDIDATE ENDORSEMENTS and SURVEY RESPONSES
HUMAN LIFE POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE, 2012
VOTE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2012
Human Life Political Action Committee has surveyed
candidates for the U. S. House, Senate, and the State
Legislature. More endorsements may be made as surveys are
returned.
We urge citizens to review all candidates listed below.
Some candidates have a complete pro-life position
and have received the Human Life PAC endorsement.
Other candidates
responding to the survey
are in substantial or partial agreement
with Human Life PAC's pro-life positions, and they deserve
your consideration.
Human Life PAC endorses pro-life incumbents in races where
the incumbent faces a pro-life challenger. When a previously
endorsed candidate and current office holder runs for a
higher/different office, that candidate is treated as an
incumbent, and receives the endorsement.
The care of all human life and happiness, and not their
destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good
government,” Thomas Jefferson. The Declaration of
Independence affirms that
Life
is first necessary before liberty or the pursuit of
happiness can exist. Talk
of human rights is but a charade, if it is only for the
“chosen”
of the human family.
Based on qualifying criteria, Human Life PAC has endorsed
candidates who assent to the truth
that all human beings are valuable – the woman, her preborn
child, those with disabilities, the elderly and the
terminally ill.

MICHAEL BAUMGARTNER – R
U.S. Senate candidate Michael Baumgartner, the Republican
challenging Sen. Maria Cantwell, said his views on abortion
are closely aligned with the national party. He opposes
abortion, with virtually no exceptions. As for Baumgartner’s
own position: “I am still a Catholic. I still believe life
begins at conception. That is consistent with my Catholic
beliefs. And I believe we must protect life.”
Baumgartner added: “Whenever abortion comes up, we get
questioned about the exceptions, but no one ever questions
the extreme positions on the other side, late-term
abortions, no on parental notification.”

Washington's Republican gubernatorial candidate,
Rob McKenna …
says his position on abortion is the same one
he's had since he ran for the Metropolitan King County
Council in the 1990s. While he personally opposes abortion,
he said, "I support a woman's right to choose under the laws
in this state."
