WASHINGTON, October 15 /Christian Newswire/ -- Today, the President of the Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund commented on tonight's discussion of the abortion issue at the final Presidential Debate:

"Tonight Americans heard about Barack Obama's heartless refusal to protect abortion survivors and his senseless vote against the ban on partial birth abortion," said Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund President Marjorie Dannenfelser. "Obama said Roe vs. Wade was 'rightly decided.' He adamantly supports the very decision that results in the slaughter of nearly 4,000 unborn children every day in our country."

"When confronted with his abortion extremism, Obama dodged the issue and repeated the mantra of 'women's rights.' But this is not a women's rights issue. It is about human rights. And the only candidates that get it are John McCain and Sarah Palin."

"True compassion for women and the unborn is found in the McCain-Palin ticket. From John and Cindy McCain's adoption story to Todd and Sarah Palin's family, they are a courageous and compassionate witness to the value and dignity of every human life, born and unborn."

Since its founding, the Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund has helped elect 75 pro-life candidates to the House, seven to the Senate, and seven to other statewide offices across the country.

The Susan B. Anthony List is a nationwide network of Americans, over 149,000 residing in all 50 states, dedicated to mobilizing, advancing, and representing pro-life women in politics. Its connected Candidate Fund increases the percentage of pro-life women in the political process.
