New Jersey Right to Life State PAC endorses Steve Oroho for Senate and Parker Space & Hal Wirths for Assembly

– The conservative trio in LD-24 welcome support of the State’s largest pro-life organization –

Today pro-life Senator Steve Oroho, pro-life Assemblyman Parker Space and their pro-life running mate former Commissioner Hal Wirths announced their endorsement by the New Jersey Right to Life State PAC for their candidacies in the 24th District.

“I am humbled by the endorsement of the New Jersey Right to Life State PAC,” said Oroho (R-Sussex, Warren, Morris), who along with his wife Rita are the parents of five adult children and grandparents of five.  “I staunchly believe in promoting a culture of life and will never waiver in my support of the unborn.”

 “It is an honor to be endorsed by leaders in the pro-life movement,” said Space (R-Sussex, Warren, Morris), who along with his wife Jill have three children.  “Working to advance the cause of life in Trenton has not been easy with radical liberal Democrats in charge of the agenda there, but our allies in this fight know where I stand and I appreciate their support.”

Oroho and Space have stood up for those who have no voice by opposing funding for Planned Parenthood and opposing physician-assisted suicide.  They are sponsoring the “Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act” which bans abortion 20 weeks or more after fertilization and other vital legislation to require the availability of a sonogram before an abortion is performed and to require parental notification for a minor’s medical procedure.

“I aim to be a pro-life leader in the New Jersey Legislature in the same way my friends Alison Littell McHose, Gary Chiusano, and Scott Garrett who have previously served in the Assembly were,” said Wirths, making his first bid for the Assembly.  “I look forward to working with leaders and activists of the pro-life movement in District 24 and from throughout the State.”

Wirths along with his wife Debbie have two daughters.

Marie Tasy, Executive Director of New Jersey Right to Life, said it was an easy decision to endorse Oroho, Space, and Wirths for the Assembly in the June 6th Republican Primary.

“Steve’s and Parker’s record on life issues speaks for itself,” Tasy said.  “Hal will be a strong pro-life voice in the Assembly and work with Steve and Parker on their pro-life legislative initiatives.”

“I am proud that they have earned this endorsement and continue in the strong pro-life tradition in Northwest New Jersey,” Tasy concluded.
