Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) on Wednesday was endorsed by the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) in his Republican bid for reelection this November.
“I am truly humbled to have the endorsement of the National Right to Life Committee,” Aderholt said in a statement.
“I have, and I always will, fight for those who are the most vulnerable among us. I cannot think of anyone more vulnerable than the unborn. The National Right to Life Committee is committed to this fight, and it is an honor to fight along side them. As I have said before, no argument on the Pro-Choice side can get around one fundamental fact, abortion stops a human heartbeat,” he continued.
The NRLC commended Aderholt as a staunch champion for life in a letter making the endorsement and outlining examples of his pro-life stances.
“You are a strong advocate for life,” the letter stated. “This endorsement reflects your commitment to strengthening a culture of life through our nation and in the U.S. House. We look forward to continuing our important work with you to protect the most vulnerable members of the human family – unborn children, the medically dependent, and person with disabilities, whose lives are threatened by abortion or euthanasia.”

Aderholt, the dean of Alabama’s U.S. House delegation, will face Democrat Rick Neighbors in the 2020 general election.
Alabama’s Fourth Congressional Delegation was President Donald J. Trump’s strongest district nationwide in the 2016 general election.
