Pro-Life keys to the midterms

Once again, abortion will play a major role in the voting decisions of millions of voters—one way or another—in the upcoming midterms. For this reason, the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America (SBA) has conducted a study with a sample of approximately 2,000 Hispanic registered voters in Texas to identify the most effective message for the November election.

In its report, SBA highlights that the messages that most strongly mobilize voters to support pro-life candidates are those that focus on babies and abortion drugs. In addition, the pro-life organization tested respondents with questions about states and the measures that pro-life candidates will advocate for to gauge their reaction.

Babies

But without a doubt, the message that resonates most strongly with Hispanic voters is the one about babies, the primary victim of abortion. According to their assessment of the impact on respondents, this message—which includes the stark statistic that 22% of pregnancies among Hispanic women end in abortion— led to a 6.6-point shift toward pro-life candidates in the Senate and a 3.7-point shift in the House:

"Congressional Democrats support abortion on demand at any time for any reason, all paid for by taxpayers.

There are some communities that are hit hardest by abortion. Twenty-two Hispanic babies are aborted for every 100 who are born. That’s more than one and a half times the rate of abortions for white babies.

They even oppose popular, commonsense legislation that would stop late-term abortions, even on healthy babies when the baby can feel excruciating pain.

Congressional Democrats want our votes, but why should we vote for someone who doesn’t want our babies? Democrats are just too extreme to represent us in Congress."

Abortion drugs (the pill)

The second most mobilizing issue concerns the abortion pill. SBA and the rest of the pro-life movement have been warning that this is a key issue when it comes to securing their votes. According to the poll, this message gave 4.4 points to candidates who defend the unborn in both chambers of Congress:

"The abortion industry is targeting our daughters, telling them that abortion drugs are safe, convenient, and discreet – and can be mailed directly to them without their parents ever knowing, and without them ever seeing a doctor in person.

But the truth is, these drugs can severely harm young girls, causing hemorrhaging, infection, sepsis, and even death. These drugs are even being used by abusers to coerce young girls into abortions they don’t want to have.

Congressional Democrats refuse to hold the abortion industry accountable and oppose all efforts to require parental involvement before a young girl can have an abortion.

They even support allowing abortion drugs to be mailed to young girls without them ever seeing a doctor in person. They refuse to protect our daughters from abortion harm. Democrats are just too extreme to represent us in Congress."

Positive message

The third most impactful message for respondents was a positive-toned message. Thus, the SBA drafted a proposal highlighting the measures that Republican candidates would take to defend life:

"Congressional Republicans will protect the rights of states to place limitations on late-term abortions of healthy babies when the child can feel pain. They will also protect the right of states to regulate abortion drugs, such as ensuring there is real in-person medical oversight by a doctor.

Congressional Republicans believe in serving women and saving babies. They believe in giving women real options to choose life.

Congressional Republicans support streamlining adoption services, increasing the child tax credit, and making baby items tax-free. They support providing funding to pregnancy care centers and maternity homes.

Congressional Republicans want to offer women real choices. They believe every woman facing an unplanned pregnancy should be informed about the financial help and adoption services available so that she can make an educated choice.

The vast majority of Americans do not support late-term abortion. Congressional Republicans believe we can come to a compromise on abortion that serves women and saves babies."

States

Finally, the organizers presented a text on a federal law that Democrats voted for, which "would take away the rights of states to set their own abortion policy." This legislation would also "wipe away all state limitations on abortion, even those that prevent late-term abortions of healthy babies and ensure parental involvement when a young girl becomes pregnant."

"Congressional Democrats voted for federal legislation that would take away the rights of states to set their own abortion policy.

The legislation Congressional Democrats voted for would wipe away all state limitations on abortion, even those that prevent late-term abortions of healthy babies and ensure parental involvement when a young girl becomes pregnant.

It would force all states to allow painful late-term abortions even in the 7th, 8th, and 9th month of pregnancy — even when the baby is perfectly healthy, all organs are formed, and the baby can see, hear, suck her thumb, feel pain, and survive outside the womb.

At this point in pregnancy moms are encouraged to sing to their child as the babies can recognize their mother’s voice.

Congressional Democrats want to force this radical law on all of us. Democrats are just too extreme to represent us in Congress."
