Anti-Abortion group criticizes Burgum, lauds Pence, Scott, and Hutchinson in Republican debate.

Anti-abortion Group Calls Out Candidates in GOP Debate

“Tonight’s​ Republican presidential debate made it clear who ⁤is and is not prepared to be a National Defender of Life,”

SBA President Marjorie Dannenfelser said. “Some ⁣were bold in sharing the plight of the unborn in half the country where brutal late-term abortions continue ‍at ‍any point in pregnancy for ​any reason.”

Where Republican 2024 Field‍ Stands‍ on ‍Key Issues

Dannenfelser ‌criticized Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND), who argued that life is a matter for the ⁢states⁤ and⁤ not the ⁣federal‍ government, citing the ⁤10th ‌amendment.

“The position taken by candidates like⁢ Doug Burgum, that life is solely a matter for the states,⁤ is unacceptable for a⁤ nation founded on unalienable rights and‌ for a presidential contender,” ‍Dannenfelser emphasized.

Former Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson expressed their ‍support for a national abortion ban at 15 weeks gestation, aligning with the ⁤consensus among medical professionals regarding fetal ⁣pain.

“Mike Pence, Tim Scott, and Asa Hutchinson each ‍offered a clear, bold case for national protections for the unborn at⁢ least by 15 weeks, when they ⁤can feel pain, which aligns with⁤ the overwhelming consensus of Americans,” Dannenfelser stated.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley acknowledged the desire for national-level action on‌ abortion among Republican voters ‍but highlighted the lack of Senate votes​ to pass a 15-week abortion ban at the federal level.

“Those who offered the clearest contrast ‍pointed ⁣out the Democrats’ agenda of imposing abortion on demand until ‌birth in every state, nationwide,” Dannenfelser ‍pointed out. “Going on offense is​ essential ⁤for any ‌candidate ‍who wants to win in 2024.”
