"I'm blessed and honored to have the endorsement of the Rhode Island State Right to Life Committee for President of the United States," said Senator Thompson. "These folks in Rhode Island have voted to endorse my candidacy because they know I have stood with them yesterday, I stand with them today, and will stand with them tomorrow. They know I have the ability to win this election. They know I believe in the sanctity of life and as President I will do all that I can to do to protect life."
