Idaho Senatorial Candidate Changes Name To 'Pro-Life'

An older news clip on 'Pro-Life'

A Senate candidate running for Larry Craig's vacated Senate seat in Idaho is so gung-ho about his anti-abortion stance he legally changed his middle name to 'Pro-Life' so he can appear on the ballot that way.

Marvin 'Pro-Life' Richardson was initially denied the use of his name on the ballot of his unsuccessful run for governor in 2006 because state policy bars use of slogans.

The AP reports:

Now, though, officials in the Idaho secretary of state's office say they have no choice because Pro-Life is his full and only name. He says he will run for the highest state office on the ballot every two years for the rest of his life, advocating murder charges for doctors who perform abortions and for women who obtain the procedure.

April Reign writes on her blog:

Pro-Life,66 (not to be confused with his cousin Route) said; “If I save one baby’s life, it’s worth it.”

I figure if he confuses the hell out of just one uterus fascist it’s worth it!
