Midterm election clarified: Pro-life issue is a winner

For years, the Democratic Party has relentlessly attacked Republicans who believe in the sanctity of human life. President Obama pushes for taxpayer funding of abortion, uses his Justice Department to challenge pro-life laws in the states, and blatantly impinges the rights of conscience for pro-life medical practitioners. Nancy Pelosi and Obama’s other supporters in Congress have applauded these efforts.

Some Republicans hesitate to fight on social issues. But in 2014, some of them went on offense by coalescing behind legislation to protect babies and women after 20 weeks of pregnancy — when science tells us unborn children can feel pain. Those willing to fight were rewarded, because most Americans have never bought into the extremist Democratic Party platform of abortion on-demand, for any reason, throughout all nine months of pregnancy, and at taxpayers’ expense.
