Here's an example. Unfortunately this is common. Candidate with 100% pro-life voting record, but not "pro-life enough" for one group.
Colorado Pro-Life Senate Candidate Defends Against Abortion Attacks
During his tenure in Congress representing a Denver-area Congressional district, Schaffer compiled a sterling pro-life voting record.
He voted repeatedly to stop taxpayer funding of abortion, supported parental notification laws, voted to ban partial-birth abortions and voted to ban both forms of human cloning.
But officials with Colorado Right to Life, which upset pro-life advocates last year with attacks on Focus on the Family, National Right to Life and other pro-life groups, claims Schaffer isn't sufficiently pro-life.
CRTL spokesman Steve Curtis claimed Schaffer looked the other way at forced abortions in the Northern Mariana islands, an American territory.
Schaffer, who investigated the forced abortion claims in a visit to the islands, told the Denver Post Curtis is off base.

Other pro-life advocates in Colorado are worried CRTL's attacks will hurt Schaffer's candidacy and could pave the way for the leading Democrat, pro-abortion Rep. Mo Udall, to capture a seat previously held by a pro-life senator.
