MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 15, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- "We extend to Governor Tommy Thompson our heartiest congratulations on his primary election win," said Susan Armacost, Wisconsin Right to Life PAC Director. "Our organization enthusiastically endorses his candidacy and will work to inform Wisconsin voters of the stark contrast between Governor Thompson and Congresswoman Baldwin when it comes to protecting the most vulnerable of human lives."

Armacost pointed out that Thompson strongly supports legislative initiatives that would build a culture of life in our nation where every member of the human family is cherished and protected.  "Whether the issue is protecting taxpayers from paying for abortions, upholding the conscience rights of those who do not want to participate in abortion and numerous other life-affirming measures, Governor Thompson strongly and courageously supports those initiatives," Armacost said.

"Governor Thompson's commitment to the protection of human life has always been evident during his distinguished career in public service.  As a member of the Wisconsin State Legislature and as Governor, he consistently supported and signed into law numerous proposals that have been responsible for saving countless lives in Wisconsin.  Wisconsin has one of the lowest abortion rates in the country and Governor Thompson's actions on behalf of life contributed to this wonderful outcome."

Armacost said Thompson's opponent, Tammy Baldwin, has maintained "an ardently pro-abortion voting record throughout her years in the Wisconsin State Legislature and in the U.S. House. When it comes to the issue of protecting vulnerable human life, voters will have a clear choice in November," said Armacost
