House Republican Leader Boehner to Receive Pro-Life Award at Right to Life Event
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)—House Republican leader John Boehner will receive an award from the National Right to Life Committee next month and give a keynote address to the organization’s national convention next month in Pittsburgh. This is the second time Boehner will have received a pro-life award.
The award will recognize the role he played in leading the fight against including abortion funding in the national health care bill President Barack Obama signed into law.
Although the Obama health care measure contains massive abortion funding, Boehner is credited with getting every Republican member of the House to vote against it and earning the support of nearly enough pro-life Democrats to stop it.
National Right to Life co-executive director Darla St. Martin told LifeNews.com she is pleased Boehner will address the convention and receive the National Right to Life Legislative Leadership Award.
“Congressman John Boehner has been an outspoken supporter of the most vulnerable members of our society,” she said. “Throughout the battle over President Obama’s health care bill, Leader Boehner worked tirelessly to defend the rights of unborn children, the elderly, and the medically dependent and disabled.” Full story at LifeNews.com
