Pro-life attacks on Church termed 'trash' Item Info

A newspaper article discussing: Representatives from a National Pro-Life Political Action Committee sharply criticized U.S. Senator Frank Church’s abortion voting record, claiming he voted wrongly on 24 out of 42 abortion-related Senate votes. In response, Church’s press secretary defended him, highlighting his consistent voting record to cut federal abortion funding and dismissing the criticism as part of a campaign to discredit Church. The pro-life representatives, though not endorsing a candidate, expressed support for Church’s opponent, Republican Congressman Steve Symms, and argued that Church’s pro-life stance was inconsistent with his voting record in Washington.
