Governor Kay Ivey’s campaign on Wednesday announced that she has been endorsed by National Right to Life in her gubernatorial race against Democratic nominee and Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox.

National Right to Life is the oldest and largest pro-life group in the United States, with 50 state right-to-life affiliates and more than 3,000 local chapters.

This comes after Maddox has come under heavy fire recently over his opposition to the pro-life constitutional amendment on the November 6 general election ballot – Amendment Two.
