From the Colin Schmitt team:
New Windsor, NY -- (4/25/16) Colin J. Schmitt, candidate for the 99th NYS Assembly District, has been formally endorsed by Orange County Right to Life.
Wendy Wood, Orange County Right to Life President stated, “We proudly endorse Colin Schmitt for the New York State Assembly. Colin has strong principles and is unafraid to stand up for what he believes in. We need more of that in Albany. We also need to ensure a voice to protect the health and safety of women. In this state, extremists are working to pass the ‘10th plank’ abortion provision. This provision would allow non-doctors to perform abortions and allow late-term and partial birth abortion up to the moment of birth. Our next Assemblyman must be one who will stand opposed to these dangerous and extreme views and work to expand protections for women. That person is Colin Schmitt.”
