An Idaho gubernatorial candidate is so opposed to abortion that he has officially changed his name to Pro-Life. His single moniker name adds credence to his firm belief that he is "the most conservative politician in Idaho."

"When sperm meets egg, that's a new person," the candidate, formerly known as Marvin Richardson remarked from the conservative bedrock of Idaho. He changed his name in August, which unfortunately was not soon enough to allow it to replace his former name on the ballot. Voters will have to search him out by his Christian name.

Mr. Pro-Life is known for running his campaign by his own terms. When asked a question during a debate with opponents, Pro-Life avoided any specific response, choosing to pause for a moment to pray.

The Idaho farmer had Pro-Life added as his middle name in 2004 until a court approved his request to have it made his only name in August of this year.
