COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Eight people have been escorted by police from the lobby of Focus on the Family headquarters in Colorado Springs after showing up to protest an endorsement by the group’s founder.
About a dozen protesters from American Right to Life Action arrived at Focus around 7:45 a.m. Thursday. Two hours later, eight of the protesters went inside the building and refused to leave.
Officers escorted them out a short time later.
The ARLA says Focus founder Dr. James Dobson violated a pledge to God to never back a candidate who supports abortion. Dobson recently said on his radio show that he would “pull the lever for John McCain” if the election were held today.
The group charges McCain voted to approve abortion funding for pregnancies stemming from rape or incest.
