Virginia 13th District Del. Bob Marshall is picking up steam in his challenge to former Gov. Jim Gilmore to become the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate.

The conservative base is learning that Gilmore supports abortion during the first eight weeks of pregnancy and he is compensated financially by serving on the board of directors of Barr Labs, which produces the abortifacient "morning after" pill.

In contrast, Marshall is 100 percent committed to protecting all unborn life, inclusive of the first eight weeks when more than half of all abortions occur.

Instead of local primaries, the nomination voting process will take place at the Virginia Republican Convention in Richmond on May 31. Deadlines for registering for the convention are soon, vary by area and can be found online at

Those of us who cringe when pro-life principles are compromised realize how important it is to sacrifice the time to attend this convention in order to vote for Marshall. His 16 years of legislative experience and genuine pro-life position will make him the best candidate for U.S. Senate.

A pro-life surge could make a huge difference in this race resulting in a victory for the culture of life.
