Moran defends pro life stance in Senate bid
Kansas Rep. Jerry Moran says his pro life position is an innate part of his faith as he seeks the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate. He faces Todd Tiahrt in a bitter primary while Moran's campaign manager previously said Moran avoided labels to not alienate moderates. Moran cites religious beliefs and notes he has long supported anti abortion leaders, despite challenges over parental notification votes in the 1990s.
