Personhood FL ProLife PAC today announces it’s endorsement of over 80 candidates for federal, state, and local offices across Florida. Endorsed candidates include 7 term Congressman and candidate for US Senate, Dr Dave Weldon; current Congressman Tom Rooney; current Florida Representative and candidate for Florida Senate, Kelli Stargel, and former Florida Representative and current FL House candidate Randy Johnson. Personhood FL ProLife PAC endorsed Republicans, Democrats, and NPA and third party candidates for every office from US Senator to Soil and Water Conservation and every position in-between.
All endorsed candidates signed a Personhood Affirmation indicating their agreement to Personhood FL ProLife PAC’s comprehensive prolife principles covering not only abortion but also abortion funding, RU-486, fetal stem cell research, human cloning, fetal tissue research, and assisted suicide and euthanasia. Candidates also affirmed that all humans should have personhood status under the Florida and US Constitutions from the beginning of the biological development of that human being to natural death. Moreover, candidates agreed to defend all innocent human life including preborn babies irrespective of their manner of conception, the elderly, and the disabled. (Read Personhood FL ProLife PAC’s ProLife Principles and Personhood Affirmation here.)
Personhood FL Director* Bryan Longworth praised the endorsements and encouraged prolife voters to support prolife candidates, “Personhood FL ProLife PAC has today endorsed candidates who have committed to protect all innocent human life. It’s no longer sufficient to be against abortion in certain circumstances. Being prolife in the 21st Century demands that we defend human life from beginning to end. These candidates have committed to protect human life from experimentation in laboratories and our seniors and the disabled when their lives are seen as expendable. I encourage prolife Florida voters to support these candidates with their votes, time, and money.”
The following candidates have signed the Personhood FL ProLife PAC Personhood Affirmation demonstrating their commitment to be prolife in the 21st Century.

Carey Baker, candidate in Lake County, may be pro-life, but his election materials have been very disturbing. He has attacked Ed Haverill in a very un-Christian way. In my previous state (Michigan), being pro-life did NOT qualify someone for office. NOT being pro-life did dis-qualify someone for office. Unfortunately in Mr. Baker's case, I will not be able, in good conscience, to vote for him. His ethics are definitely not what I want to see in this position.
Does not being prolife disqualify a candidates in your view?
I appreciate this short-cut to my informed vote. Now I know those that will not receive my support or my vote. Thank you for listing them for all of us women who vote.
