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.

The Susan B. Anthony List has sent a mailer to North Carolina voters touting U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole's record opposing abortion.

What the mailer says: The front page of the mailer features a picture of an infant with the headline, "Last year there were over 1.1 million abortions in this country..."

The back page features another picture of an infant and a separate picture of U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole and continues the text from the front: "...1.1 million children who will never know what it feels like to be held, hugged or even loved. Nothing is more precious than the life of a child. Actions speak louder than words...

"That's why Elizabeth Dole has stood up for life in the U.S. Senate.

"Supported parental consent.

"Opposed partial birth abortion.

"Voted to prohibit abortion in military hospitals overseas.

"Voted against taxpayer funding of abortion."

The mailer then encourages people to call Dole to thank her "for being a defender of the defenseless."

The background: The mailer makes several claims about abortion.

NUMBER OF ABORTIONS: The most recent data on abortions from the Centers for Disease Control is from 2004, when it said there were about 840,000 abortions.

Joy Yearout, political director with the Susan B. Anthony List, says they relied upon statistics from the National Right to Life Committee, which she said used the CDC numbers and numbers by the Alan Guttmacher Institute.

Their most recent figures, also from 2004, show that there were about 1.2 million abortions. Yearout says their mailer uses "a slightly more conservative estimate."

PARENTAL CONSENT: Dole voted twice in 2006 for legislation to make it a felony to evade state laws requiring parental consent on abortions by taking minors across state lines for abortions.

PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION: Dole voted twice in 2003 in support of the federal ban on partial birth abortions. She also voted twice that year against motions to kill or weaken the federal ban.

MILITARY HOSPITALS: Dole voted in 2003 against an amendment to the defense authorization bill that would have repealed a law that prohibits abortions at military hospitals.

TAXPAYER FUNDING: Dole voted on at least three occasions to uphold the so-called "Mexico City Policy" that states that U.S. funds for overseas population assistance programs cannot go to private organizations that perform or promote abortion. She also voted in 2008 against using taxpayer funds for elective abortions through the U.S. Indian Health Care program.

Is the mailer accurate? Yes, although an accurate number on abortions in the United States last year is not available.

A mailer praises U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole's pro-life stance.

In a mailer sent to North Carolina voters, the Susan B. Anthony List praises the Salisbury Republican for opposing abortion.

"Nothing is more precious than the life of a child," it says. "That's why Elizabeth Dole has stood up for life in the U.S. Senate."

The mailer says Dole supported parental consent, opposed so-called partial birth abortion and voted to prohibit abortion in military hospitals overseas.

It does not ask people to vote for Dole, instead listing her number and asking people to call and "thank her for being a defender of the defenseless."

The Susan B. Anthony List is a nonprofit advocacy group that aims to help elect pro-life women.
