Today the national pro-life political action committee the Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund announced its endorsement of Mitch McConnell for U.S. Senate in Kentucky.
“The contrast between Mitch McConnell and Alison Grimes on life couldn’t be more stark,” said SBA List Candidate Fund President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “Alison Grimes is so extreme on abortion that she even supports painful late-term abortions after five months – more than halfway of pregnancy. It’s no wonder Alison Grimes has been endorsed by extreme abortion groups who only back candidates who support abortion on-demand, for any reason, paid for by the taxpayer.”
mitchmconnell“Leader McConnell has a 100 percent pro-life voting record and has pledged to bring the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to the floor for a vote when he becomes Majority Leader. This compassionate legislation is supported by the majority of Americans – women in higher numbers than men,” continued Dannenfelser. “Mitch McConnell will always stand up for Kentucky values and we are proud to endorse him in his re-election bid.”
McConnell is endorsed by National Right to Life and Kentucky Right to Life.
“No U.S. senator has done more for unborn children than Sen. Mitch McConnell,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life.
“Mitch McConnell is a stalwart defender of innocent human life and a tireless advocate for pro-life principles,” said Margie Montgomery, executive director of Kentucky Right to Life. “Pro-life voters need to come together to re-elect pro-life Sen. Mitch McConnell and defeat pro-abortion Alison Lundergan Grimes.”

As reported by National Right to Life, “McConnell has been a key supporter of every major pro-life initiative to come before the U.S. Senate during his tenure, including current legislation to protect unborn children at 20 weeks, a point by which the unborn child is capable of experiencing great pain when being killed by dismemberment or other late abortion techniques.”
McConnell’s general election opponent Alison Lundergan Grimes is endorsed by EMILY’s List, a pro-abortion PAC that backs female Democrats who support abortion-on-demand. EMILY’s List labeled McConnell an “anti-choice obstructionist” for fighting back against the pro-abortion Obama agenda.
The 2012 elections were barely over before Planned Parenthood turned its attention to attacking McConnell. They recognize the asset he is to the pro-life movement in the Senate.
In February 2013, Planned Parenthood began running ads blasting McConnell for his support for Hobby Lobby in their legal challenge to the Obama Mandate.
However, despite McConnell’s proven record, some have falsely alleged that McConnell is somehow weak on pro-life issues. Nothing could be further from the truth.
McConnell’s GOP primary challenger Matt Bevin has misrepresented McConnell’s record, even claiming on his website that McConnell voted in favor of federal funding for abortion. Yet, time and time again, McConnell voted against abortion funding.
(McConnell’s voting record on pro-life issues is available here.)
McConnell voted for the pro-life Mexico City Policy. He voted to cut off funding to the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), which participates in the carrying out of China’s One-Child Policy that relies on forced abortions. He also voted to cut funding to Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion provider. McConnell has stood resolutely from the beginning against funding of abortion in Obamacare and its mandates that violate rights of conscience.
McConnell is still a RINO, so Pro-Life supporters should just sit out this election. /s
It’s Kentucky. Democrat-land. Where even the Republicans are Democrats.
Disgusting witch told the suckers back home she opposed partial birth abortion, then she went and told the Planned Parenthood crowd she was only kidding.
I love him, I love him not. I love him, I love him not. I love him. I love him not.
McConnell is still a RINO, so Pro-Life supporters should just sit out this election. /s
I cannot find any republicans that agree with me 100% of the time. Therefore, I hope the democrats win every seat just to send my message. /s
it is a secret ballot, so if people here won’t support McConnell because it is better that he lose, then vote the DEmocrat Grimes.
nobody would argue with that logic. But put up or shut up!!
Don’t tell us to defeat McConnell .... and then you don’t care enough to show up and help put Grimes over the top.
Myself, I aint bashful about telling ya which democrats I am voting for. Why the cowardice!?
If McConnell needs to be defeated, vote for GRimes!! got it?
Whatever you do, please don’t vote for Grimes. She will be
a disaster and would take years to unseat her.
Grimes’ religion on her Wikipedia page is given as “Roman Catholicism”. She graduated from “Lexington Catholic High School”.
what does it say on Judas’ Wikipedia page?
on second thought, is the bishop in Louisville Roman Catholic?
Actually, if Grimes is elected it would be up to the Lexington archbishop to speak to her and about her.
“Therefore, I hope the democrats win every seat just to send my message. /s”
Problem is, once you get a democrat in it’s like a case of herpes. Know what I mean?
Vote a third party if you must. No Independent party in Kentucky?
The “ /s “ was intended to show I was only being sarcastic. The post I had replied to use the same thing.
I can understand if you didn’t know that. It’s sort of jokingly using HTML codes which is a computer code.
There are some on here saying they hope Mitch and other republicans lose. They think we’ll be better off. I believe those people are idiots.
OMG! We got fooled again by that sarcasm stuff.
No wonder I had hard time figuring out the difference between Tina Fey and Sarah Palin ... so easy to trick us newbies.
