Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Cox has won the endorsement of Right to Life of Michigan.
The major endorsement came Friday, just three days after the attorney general won the backing of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce.
Democrat Virg Bernero is the only gubernatorial candidate among the seven running who supports abortion rights.
Right to Life has expressed skepticism, however, about Republican Rick Snyder's beliefs.
Snyder wrote an opinion piece this week saying the next governor could do a lot to lower the abortion rate "by focusing primarily on the economy."
On its website, Right to Life says the state would be better off with an abortion opponent who wants to improve the economy than a candidate "who thinks his plan to improve the economy makes him 'pro-life."'
