After the demise of Roe, abortion advocates channeled Chicken Little, claiming the sky would fall on pro-life candidates because outraged voters will elect their pro-abortion opponents.

Pro-Abortion Candidates are Losing

The media touted a State Supreme Court race in Georgia as a bellwether of races to come. Former pro-abortion Democrat Congressman John Barrow ran against incumbent Justice Andrew Pinson because as solicitor general he successfully defended the Heartbeat law.

Barrow centered his entire campaign on abortion. Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion lobby groups endorsed him. Barrow lost by ten percentage points.

During West Virginia’s primary, eighty-seven percent of the candidates endorsed by a pro-life political action committee won. The balance of the State Supreme Court moved from a bare margin in favor of life to four to one support for life. Wanda Fraz, president of the PAC said voters support candidates who reflect their values regarding the dignity of human life. She’s right.

Similar victories resulted in South Carolina’s primary. Three state Senators who shared extreme stands on abortion were defeated by pro-life male challengers, one winning with over 80% of the vote. The pro-abortion incumbents lost in spite of an infusion of over $350,000 on their behalf.

Legacy Media On Notice

CNN reporter Harry Enten said he is “speechless.” What ruffled his feathers?  Multiple polls show Donald Trump is getting more support from Black Americans, especially young Black voters. Biden’s support from these young voters is cratering.

Enten said “I’ve just never seen anything like this. I’m like speechless. I keep looking for signs that this is going to go back to normal and I don’t see it yet in the polling.” He added, “We’re careening towards historic performance for a Republican presidential candidate, the likes of which we have not seen in six decades.”

Advocates of abortion have warned that pro-life candidates would lose due to the wrath of women voters after the demise of Roe. The New York Times, a leading pro-abortion advocate now understands this is merely political hyperbole.

It analyzed over 30 polls that when averaged, showed Joe Biden’s lead with women is down by about 13% from four years earlier. The Times reported that this erosion of support “has been particularly pronounced among Black and Hipanic women.” According to a Harvard-Harris poll, 75% of women support limits on abortion after 15 weeks.

Democrat Politicians Fleeing the Party

Nebraska State Senator Mike McDonnell was censored by his own party for being a pro-life Christian. The Democrat of forty years said, “Douglas County Democrats instead of respecting [his position], they decided to punish it.” These officials could use some mentoring on how to be tolerant and inclusive. McDonnell’s move gives Republicans a veto-proof majority in the single legislative chamber.

Former Democrat Eric Johnson, mayor of Dallas, Texas explained that his deeply held Christian faith was central to his decision to join the Republican Party. Mayor Johnson, a black man, said, “You sort of inherit the Democratic Party as a cultural heirloom when you’re African American. It sort of gets handed to you as part of who you are.”  Which demonstrates Eric’s decision was not made lightly.

Louisiana State Rep. Jeremy LaCombe joined Rep. Francis Thompson in leaving the Democrat Party. Thompson’s switch resulted in a supermajority for Republicans.

North Carolina State Rep. Tricia Cotham’s defection also gave Republicans a supermajority.

A growing number of elected politicians who’ve fled the Party say its stand on abortion until birth is a bridge too far for many who like Mayor Johnson are not willing to shelve their faith for political gain.

A recent poll shows young American voters do not support unrestrained abortion. 65% of what is called the Youth Vote support significant limits on abortion. And nearly all of them oppose abortion until birth.

When Americans get past the political slogans and into the heart of the matter – particularly the Youth Vote – a strong majority want to see the unborn protected.

Pro-life candidates have a clear path to victory. They must show voters how extreme their opponents truly are.
