California ProLife Endorses Simon for Governor

SACRAMENTO  - The California affiliate of National Right to Life, the California ProLife Council, announced today that its Political Action Committee has endorsed Bill Simon for Governor. 

“We are pleased to endorse Bill Simon,” said Brian Johnston, Executive Director of the California ProLife Council (CPLC). “He is committed to renewing a culture of life in California; he believes in restoring legal protection for innocent life and affirming the involvement of caring parents should their minor daughter face a problem pregnancy. Bill Simon will make an excellent governor.” 

California’s current governor, Gray Davis, is opposed to any limitation on abortion regardless of the age of the child, or the reasons offered for getting the abortion.  Davis and Richard Riordan, Simon’s primary opponent, also support the state government’s funding of the abortion industry, which under current law is without fiscal limit.

"Bill Simon wants the government out of the abortion industry, as do most Californians when they understand the unlimited largesse that is showered on this dark and shadowy business,” said Johnston.

The California ProLife Council is the largest pro-life organization in the state. In addition to its lobbying activities, it has state and federal political action committees, and an educational arm involved in promoting the basic facts about human growth and development.
