'''PLINO''', which stands for "[[Pro-Life]] In Name Only," is a politician who campaigns and is elected by claiming to be pro-life, but then quietly obstructs the passage of pro-life laws or otherwise fails to pass them.  Examples would include committee chairmen who fail to schedule hearings on a pro-life bill, or leaders of legislative bodies who fail to call for a floor vote.
    
For example, many state politicians in [[Georgia]] were elected last November by claiming to be pro-life, yet it did not pass a single pro-life law before adjourning for the year in 2011.  This occurred despite a rapidly increasing rate of [[abortion]] in Georgia.
