The pro-life Susan B. Anthony List’s candidate-fund political action committee celebrated Herschel Walker’s Wednesday Republican primary win in the race for Georgia’s U.S. Senate seat.
The organization additionally blasted U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA)’s far-left record on abortion.
“We are proud to support Herschel and celebrate his victory tonight. With his courage and authenticity, he can defeat ‘activist preacher’ Raphael Warnock, who opposes any limits whatsoever on abortion up to birth – even infanticide – and is radically out of step with Georgians,” said SBA List Candidate Fund PAC President Marjorie Dannenfelser in a statement.
“Between now and November we will work tirelessly to expose extremists like Warnock and send pro-life champions like Herschel Walker to Washington, where voices like his are needed more than ever,” said Dannenfelser, adding that the committee’s ground team has visited tens of thousands of voters at their homes “to educate them about the stakes of this year’s elections and the importance of voting pro-life.”
The organization additionally noted that it has a strong grassroots presence in Georgia and plans to spend a lot of money to further the campaigns to take control of the U.S. House and U.S. Senate in November away from the pro-abortion party in power.
“SBA List and its partner super PAC, Women Speak Out PAC, have boots on the ground in Georgia and their field team has visited more than 210,000 homes to discuss Warnock’s record on life with Georgia voters,” SBA List said. “This election cycle, SBA List and its entities plan to spend $78 million to protect life across America. This includes reaching eight million voters across battleground states – four million directly at their doors – to take back the U.S. House and Senate.”
Life on the Ballot, a project of the SBA list, contains information on just how extreme Warnock’s record on abortion is. The organization notes that Warnock opposes all restrictions on abortion, voted no on legislation that would have protected born-alive abortion survivors, and says that abortion is “consistent with” Christianity.
When WGAU’s Tim Bryant asked him if he believes “that God endorses the millions of abortions we’ve had in this country since Roe v. Wade?” Warnock replied, “I think that human agency and freedom is consistent with my view as a minister.”
