WASHINGTON — National Right to Life announced its endorsement of Senator Todd Young for re-election to the United States Senate in Indiana.
“National Right to Life is pleased to endorse Todd Young for re-election to the U.S. Senate,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “Senator Young demonstrated during his terms in the House and in the Senate that he is an unwavering champion for unborn children and their mothers.”
Senator Young voted for pro-life protections for unborn babies. He opposes using tax dollars to pay for abortion, and he opposes taxpayer funding of abortion providers.
Senator Young voted to defend the longstanding Hyde Amendment, which bars federal tax dollars from being used for abortions in many federal programs. The Hyde Amendment has saved an estimated 2.5 million lives since its passage in 1976.
Senator Young voted against the so-called Women’s Health Protection Act, which really should be called the “Abortion Without Limits Until Birth Act” because it would enshrine abortion in federal law and policies, and it would tear down protective laws on the state level, including parental involvement and informed consent laws.
By contrast, his general election opponent, Democrat Thomas McDermott, supports a policy of abortion-on-demand for any reason. McDermott also supports using taxpayer dollars to pay for abortions.
Senator Young is also endorsed by Indiana Right to Life, National Right to Life’s state affiliate.
“Indiana deserves a pro-life senator like Todd Young who is committed to building a culture of life,” said Tobias. “Young’s strong pro-life record stands in stark contrast to the out-of-touch position of Thomas McDermott, who supports abortion for any reason until birth.”
Daniel Miller is responsible for nearly all of National Right to Life News' political writing.
With the election of Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency, Daniel Miller developed a deep obsession with U.S. politics that has never let go of the political scientist. Whether it's the election of Joe Biden, the midterm elections in Congress, the abortion rights debate in the Supreme Court or the mudslinging in the primaries - Daniel Miller is happy to stay up late for you.
Daniel was born and raised in New York. After living in China, working for a news agency and another stint at a major news network, he now lives in Arizona with his two daughters.
