By Carol Long Tobias, NRL PAC Director

Former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley is challenging Vice President Al Gore for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.
Unfortunately for pro-life Democrats, both candidates are solidly in the pro-abortion camp."
First elected to the Senate in 1978, Bradley served three terms before retiring in 1996. During those 18 years, Bradley amassed a strong voting record in favor of abortion.

THINKING CLEARLY ABOUT THE ELECTION IN 2000

Although the primaries and the fall election in the year 2000 are still many months away, it is not too early for pro-lifers to think about sound strategy. Strategy must serve the long-term goal of establishing the right to life, putting an end to abortion, and eliminating the threat of euthanasia and infanticide. In pursuing that strategy, pro-lifers must guard against actions that may appear "principled" on the surface but are--through unintended consequences-- advancing the pro-abortionists' agenda.

THE RIGHT TO LIFE
IS THE CORE ISSUE

As I have stated many times before, the right to life is the core fabric of any "seamless garment" of social justice--not a hem or sleeve or mere decoration. There is no social justice without the right to life. The first principle of public policy must be to follow the Declaration of Independence and protect the " unalienable" right to life as "endowed by the Creator."
