§ 6 Notes

Full 63-signer block transcribed from the letter PDF (two-column layout).

Editorial note The rubric records distance from the standard published by Abolitionists Rising, not a moral verdict; every organization scored here regards itself as pro-life. Scores are judgment calls applied consistently by the published rubric; a disagreement is a disagreement with the rubric's conventions, not with an individual cell.
