St. Louis - June 30, 2009 - Missourians United for Life (MUL) today announced its early endorsement of Roy Blunt for the United States Senate. MUL is a leading pro-life grassroots organization that supports pro-life candidates who will protect human life at all stages.

"Roy Blunt has a long record of local, state and federal service and a 100 percent pro-life record," said Ed Martin, President of Missourians United for Life. "Pro-life Missourians can trust Roy Blunt to fight for life every time and to oppose the radical pro-abortion agenda of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama.

"MUL is announcing its early endorsement of Roy Blunt not only for his perfect pro-life record and pro-life values, but because he is facing one of the most radical pro-abortion candidates ever to run for the United States Senate. Robin Carnahan is a fierce supporter of abortion-on-demand, taxpayer funding for abortion, partial-birth abortion and the radical agenda of the pro-abortion lobby including Emily's List. If elected, Robin Carnahan would vote for the so-called 'Freedom of Choice Act,' an overreaching federal dictate that would reverse Missouri's pro-life laws including our ban on partial birth abortion - the same ban her father opposed and vetoed ten years ago before he was overridden by Republicans and Democrats in Missouri's General Assembly. MUL is encouraging pro-life Missourians to support protecting innocent human life by supporting Roy Blunt for the United States Senate."

Martin also praised Roy Blunt for being an original signer of MUL's pledge to oppose the so-called "Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA) which would reverse pro-life laws in Missouri and other states.
