In a letter of endorsement, the Arizona Right to Life PAC touted his continued devotion to
restoring our nation’s respect and protection for life is evident in both his words and his actions. The group said it’s pleased to give their support to Governor Huckabee as the candidate who best represents their ongoing mission to respect life at all its stages.
