Thompson Campaign to Romney: National Right to Life Cannot Be Bribed

McLean, VA - Thompson for President Communications Director Todd Harris today released the following statement in response to the outrageous accusations by the Romney campaign and its supporters in today's Washington Times that the National Right to Life Committee was bribed by the Thompson campaign in exchange for its endorsement:

"Gov. Romney is new to the pro-life movement and his campaign clearly has a few things to learn about it.  First, they should understand that despite their campaign's every effort, groups like the National Right to Life Committee's PAC (NRLC-PAC) cannot be bought.  NRLC-PAC is supporting Fred Thompson because of Fred's 100% pro-life voting record.  They know he stood with them yesterday, he stands with them today, and he will stand with them tomorrow.  It is unseemly for the Romney campaign and its supporters to suggest that NRLC-PAC's coveted endorsement is based on a bribe.  Second, this unfounded accusation is as outrageou s as it is ironic, given the Romney campaign's long history of spreading money around to anyone who will take it. 

"If the Romney campaign is looking for the reason they did not receive the NRLC-PAC endorsement, they can start with the fact that Gov. Romney was pro-choice just two years ago.  They should also consider the fact that Gov. Romney's own health care plan in Massachusetts offers taxpayer funded abortions for a mere $50 co-pay and requires by law that a representative from Planned Parenthood sit on the MassHealth advisory board.   Tellingly, Gov. Romney made no such requirement for a representative from the pro-life movement.

"The Romney campaign was clearly hoping for this endorsement and are now clearly upset.  But being denied an endorsement is no excuse to impugn the integrity of the very organization they were just days ago trying to woo."
