JACKSON, Miss. – At a press conference today in Jackson, National Right to Life restated its unequivocal endorsement of Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith for the U.S. Senate.
Hyde-Smith faces pro-abortion former Rep. Mike Espy in a November 27 run-off election.
“Cindy Hyde-Smith is the only candidate in the November 27 run-off election who represents the true pro-life values of Mississippi,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “Mike Espy does not.”
As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1988-1992, Mike Espy sided with pro-abortion Democrats dozens of times. His record includes scored votes against the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funds from paying for abortion in the Medicaid program; the Dornan Amendment, which prohibited the use of federal funds from paying for abortion in the District of Columbia; and votes in favor of giving federal funds to organizations that perform and promote abortion overseas.
Mike Espy was a co-sponsor of the so-called “Freedom of Choice Act,” a piece of pro-abortion legislation so sweeping it would have invalidated all federal, state, and local limitations on abortion – nullifying the types of common-sense pro-life laws that the Supreme Court has said are permitted under Roe v. Wade.
“To put it plainly: Mike Espy’s pro-abortion views are out of step and grossly out of touch with the pro-life values of The Magnolia State,” said Tobias.
In contrast, Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith opposes using federal tax dollars to pay for abortion and, in her first pro-life vote in the U.S. Senate, she voted for an amendment that would have blocked abortion-providing organizations, like Planned Parenthood, from receiving federal funds from Medicaid, CHIP, and various block-grant programs.
“We encourage all voters who are concerned with the right to life and with protecting society’s most vulnerable to vote for Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith in the November 27 run-off election,” added Tobias.
I hope Trump does a rally or two for her. I know it’s an odd time of year for a rally, but I think people will turn out.
And the Democratic Media Machine fires up to do as much damage as possible before the runoff...
Right before Thanksgiving would be weird.
How long until we see Hailey Barbour and Karl Rove launch a broadside against Hyde-Smith? How long until the RINO hit squad swoops in to create some faux drama? Is Hyde-Smith a witch? Did Hyde-Smith date a teenager when she was a teen?
Does she float?
We need to hold this seat!!!!!
