Mitt Romney selects prolife Congressman Paul Ryan as running mate

On August 11, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney selected Congressman Paul Ryan to be his vice-presidential running mate. Congressman Ryan has served in Congress since 1999 and has a 100% prolife voting record.

National Right to Life Committee praised Romney's pick of Ryan to be his running mate.
“We are thrilled that Paul Ryan has been selected to run with Governor Romney. Congressman Ryan has a deep, abiding respect for all human life, including unborn children and their mothers, the disabled, and the elderly,” said National Right to Life President Carol Tobias. “Together, they form a solid pro-life ticket that truly represents the pro-life majority in the United States.”

NRLC also links to an editorial which Paul Ryan wrote in 2009 sharing his prolife beliefs.

In July of 2012, Paul Ryan told the Weekly Standard that he would always vote prolife.
"I’m as pro-life as a person gets," Ryan continued. "You’re not going to have a truce. Judges are going to come up. Issues come up, they’re unavoidable, and I’m never going to not vote pro-life."
