Antiabortion group sends out mailers for Scott Brown, who favors legalized abortion [View all]

Source: Boston Globe

The National Right to Life Committee has spent about $45,000 sending out mailers supporting Senator Scott Brown, even as he supports legalized abortion.

The expenditure for the mailings, reported over the last several days to the Federal Elections Commission, cannot legally be approved by Brown.

He has received endorsements from several groups that oppose legalized abortion, in part because of his opposition to President Obama’s health care law and his support for a measure that would have allowed employers and churches to restrict health coverage for treatments or procedures they find morally objectionable. Brown’s vote against Obama’s health care law was unrelated to the abortion issue.
