ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign announced today that pro-life leader Carolyn Gerster, M.D. has endorsed John McCain for president. Dr. Gerster is the Chair of the Arizona Right to Life Board of Directors and is both a co-founder and past president of the National Right to Life Committee.

"John McCain is the most qualified candidate and has a consistent and principled pro-life record," said Dr. Gerster. "He has spent his career standing up for human rights and he will continue to do so as president. John McCain will nominate judges who understand the sanctity of human life, and firmly believes that courts should not be legislating from the bench. John McCain has the conviction, strengths, and experience to serve as commander in chief from day one and that is why he has my vote."
