A pro-life women's group is making another call for U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole.

The Susan B. Anthony List, a Washington-based advocacy group, asks voters to call Dole to tell her that they appreciate her pro-life record.

"As the only pro-life woman in the entire U.S. Senate, she has been a strong voice for the unborn and has voted against partial-birth abortion and forcing you to pay for abortions with your hard-earned tax dollars," says president Marjorie Dannenfelser in the recording.

The Susan B. Anthony List considers only a dozen female members of Congress to be pro-life, although the National Right to Life Committee and other groups has a broader list.

The group made a previous robocall and sent a mailer on Dole's behalf in early October.

A robocall is praising U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole's pro-life record in the Senate.

The automated call by the Susan B. Anthony List, which supports pro-life female candidates and recently sent a mailer to North Carolinians, features a recording of chairwoman Marjorie Jones Dannenfelser.

"She's the only pro-life woman in the entire U.S. Senate — the only one," she says in the call. "She has a backbone of steel when it comes to protecting unborn children."

The Susan B. Anthony List considers only a dozen female members of Congress to be pro-life, including Reps. Sue Myrick and Virginia Foxx.

The National Right to Life Committee has also given Dole a 100 percent rating on pro-life votes, but it gave high ratings to other senators as well.

Among other pro-life women in the U.S. Senate, the group gave Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison an 85 percent rating; Sen. Mary Landrieu, 66 percent; Sen. Lisa Murkowski, 57 percent; and Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, 14 percent.

Sens. Blanche Lincoln, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Barbara Mikulski, Debbie Stabenow, Amy Klobuchar, Claire McCaskill, Hillary Clinton and Maria Cantwell received zero percent ratings.
