Nathan Burd, founder of Americans for Mitt, has some insightful analysis into John McCain's pro-life record and how the AZ senator currently compares with Gov. Romney. Here are some excerpts:

Without question, Senator McCain has a generally pro-life voting record and he is to be commended for that. But is it really a consistent record? For the current legislative session, Senator McCain has only earned a 75% rating from National Right to Life. McCain’s support for federally-funded embryonic stem cell research (H.R. 810) is the reason for his lowered rating and one of the main reasons why pro-life voters are suspicious of McCain’s sincerity on life issues.

How does one claim to be consistent and genuine on life issues when they support embryonic stem cell research? The creation of human life simply for its destruction is most certainly not pro-life. Not only does Senator McCain support this procedure, but he wants us to pay for it!

Pro-life voters need to understand that Governor Romney vetoed the effort to expand embryonic stem cell research in Massachusetts. While Senator McCain was busy promoting federally-funded embryo murder, Governor Romney displayed genuine pro-life leadership by vetoing embryonic stem cell research in Massachusetts.
