SBA List President Available for Comment on Reaching Values Voters

WASHINGTON, June 25 /Christian Newswire/ -- Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser published a commentary in today's edition of The Washington Times that examines how the pro-life issue is a winning issue that GOP candidates ignore at their own peril. Selected excerpts follow:

"Inside the Washington DC beltway, the obvious gets murky when the unsettling abortion issue comes up. When the issue is the resounding consensus that exists on abortion and the decisive role that the make-up of the Senate and Supreme Court will play in the future of it, GOP advisers favor the latter line of thinking. Ignore or bury the consensus that consists of vast majorities in favor of parental notification for minors' abortions, and bans on sex selection, late term, tax-payer funded and Partial-Birth abortions. The advice of most: make and keep it back-burner."

"Sonograms tell the story: it is a matter of life and death. So it trumps every other issue. And for those who only support the 68 percent plus common ground abortion issues, intensity could exist. Effective and responsible communication can create it. Then, like in 2004, voters will respond to the fact that an issue about which they care deeply is on the line."

"Democrat strategists have leveraged this consensus in key races in congressional districts across the nation in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Indiana, and most recently Louisiana and Mississippi. If some GOP insiders lack in agreement or comfort level on the abortion issue, they should at least see and encourage the issue's Machiavellian advantage with voters from the district to the presidential level."
