Big Gains for Pro-Life Movement on Abortion

Senate Elections Provide Big Gains for Pro-Life Movement on Abortion


Americans clearly preferred pro-life candidates on Tuesday when it came to the most hotly contested races for the Senate in the 2010 elections

The results make it so pro-life advocates will have an easier time stopping the advance of President Barack Obama’s pro-abortion agenda in terms of abortion funding and pro-abortion judicial nominees for the Supreme Court and other federal court appointments.



Wisconsin provided the pro-life movement with one of the biggest upsets of the evening as pro-life Ron Johnson defeated longtime pro-abortion Sen. Russ Feingold, who has promoted abortion for decades.



In the same way, pro-life Pennsylvania Senate candidate Pat Toomey defeated pro-abortion opponent Joe Sestak in one of the most challenging campaigns of the election cycle.



In Arkansas, pro-life candidate John Boozman picked up a seat for the pro-life movement in defeating pro-abortion incumbent Sen. Blanche Lincoln. With 27 percent of the vote counted, Boozman won 57-38 percent in a race that was never close despite Lincoln attacking Boozman and claiming he supported raping women.



Indiana also saw a pro-life candidate replace an outgoing abortion supporter as pro-life former Sen. Dan Coats defeated Brad Ellsworth, a Democrat who claimed to be pro-life but supported the abortion-funding ObamaCare bill. Coats will replace pro-abortion Sen. Evan Bayh, who claimed a more moderate position but repeatedly voted for abortion and abortion funding, after topping Ellsworth on a lopsided 55-40 percentage point margin.



In North Dakota, pro-life John Hoeven won is race to replace retiring pro-abortion Sen. Byron Dorgan, who defied the relatively conservative views of state voters by consistently supporting abortion and abortion funding during his career.



The Senate election also saw pro-life candidates hold seats that were in jeopardy of switching to pro-abortion lawmakers.



Marco Rubio will become one of the top pro-life Hispanic elected officials in the nation now that he is the Senator-elect in Florida, having defeated pro-abortion incumbent Gov. Charlie Crist, who ran as an independent.



Despite the presence of both Crist and pro-abortion Democratic Rep. Kendrick Meek, Rubio cruised to an easy election victory capturing a majority of the vote and positioning himself as a major national figure. Full story at http://www.lifenews.com/



Gubernatorial Wins Give Pro-Life Advocates Chance to Cut Abortions Further

With wins from across the country in key gubernatorial elections, pro-life advocates have a clear opportunity to reduce abortions with the passage of additional pro-life legislation in state legislatures.

In Arizona, pro-life Governor Jan Brewer was able to keep her seat after she delighted pro-life advocates by singing significant pro-life legislation with a real potential to save the lives of unborn children.



Florida voters appeared likely to send pro-life candidate Rick Scott to Tallahassee to replace pro-abortion Gov. Charlie Crist, who vetoed a pro-life bill that would have allowed women a chance to see an ultrasound of their unborn child prior to an abortion.



In Georgia, pro-life candidate Nathan Deal allows pro-life groups a chance to continue passing bills by defeating his pro-abortion opponent.



Iowa is a state that will see a significant change as pro-life candidate Terry Brandstad defeated pro-abortion Chet Culver, who was a Planned Parenthood endorsement in a state where the abortion business is advancing the concept known as telemed abortions.



Sam Brownback becomes the next governor in Kansas, giving pro-life groups a real opportunity to reduce abortions, stop late-term abortions and prosecute abortion practitioners who flout the law.



In New Mexico, voters elected one of the few pro-life women governors and one who is a Hispanic to boot in Susanna Martinez. Mary Falin, another pro-life woman, was elected in the state of Oklahoma as was pro-life Nikki Haley in South Carolina.



Ohio saw pro-life former congressman John Kasich become the state’s next governor to replace pro-abortion stalwart Ted Strickland.



Voters in Pennsylvania rewarded pro-life candidate Tom Corbett in a race that will help the pro-life movement further reduce abortions beyond the great gains it has already seen.



Texas voters re-elected pro-life Gov. Rick Perry to another term and voters in Wisconsin helped the state elected pro-life candidate Scott Walker. Full story at http://www.lifenews.com/
