Missourians United for Life (MUL) is a statewide, nonpartisan organization founded in 2008 to support and endorse pro-life candidates for office. MUL opposes abortion, embryonic stem cell research, euthanasia, and other attacks on life. MUL also specially opposes abortion providers like Planned Parenthood as they seek tax dollars and access to our schools and government social service providers.
The following is a partial list of endorsements based on candidates who have submitted their surveys to MUL as of July 1, 2010. Candidates marked with a bolded (SD) after their names indicate that they have 'Served with Distinction' in a public capacity in support of life issues. Endorsements are made as MUL receives and processes candidate information, including candidate surveys.
For an up-to-date list of endorsements, for a copy of the candidate survey, or to learn more about MUL, please visit MissouriansUnitedForLife.com or call (314) 753-6180.
