Persuadable & Low-Turnout Voters Overwhelmingly Reject Democrats’ Extremism on Abortion

Des Moines, Iowa – Today, Women Speak Out PAC announced that its Iowa Voter Contact Program – undertaken in conjunction with partner Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America – has surpassed 100,000 visits to voters’ homes across the Des Moines, Davenport and Cedar Rapids areas to defeat pro-abortion Democrats and elect pro-life candidates in the gubernatorial, U.S. Senate, and key House races.

WSO PAC and SBA’s Voter Contact Program is the largest, most effective pro-life program of its kind in the nation. The partners previously announced plans to contact 10.5 million voters this cycle through canvassing, digital advertising, voter contact mail and early vote campaigns. In addition to Iowa, the program is focused on low-turnout and persuadable voters in states such as Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Montana, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and other critical battlegrounds for securing pro-life House and Senate majorities as well as pro-life governors.

Iowa State Director Marlene Downing, described the team’s engagement on the ground:

“The response our field team sees at the doors, especially our young canvassers, is incredible. Voters are overwhelmingly with us on critical issues like limits on late-term abortions, protecting babies who survive failed abortions, and being turned off by the Democrats’ agenda. What could be more powerful than witnessing ordinary people switch their votes to pro-life as a result of one of our conversations with them? Our enthusiasm is high and the momentum is growing as we plan to expand our team even more through Election Day.”

SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser added:

“100,000 visits to Iowa voters confirms Democrats like Josh Turek and Rob Sand are far too extreme and out of touch for the Hawkeye State. Turek wants to force every state in the country to allow excruciatingly painful late-term abortions, even when baby and mom are perfectly healthy, in the seventh, eighth and ninth month of pregnancy. Sand opposes Iowa’s hard-won protections for babies with beating hearts, even with the exceptions the law contains for rape, incest and saving the mother’s life. They will take Iowa and America in a dark direction if they’re not stopped cold in Iowa. To pro-life Republicans like Ashley Hinson, Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Lahn, protecting unborn babies and supporting moms—before and after birth—are equally important to build a culture of life.

“The choice is clear, and with House and Senate majorities at stake this year, we’ll be making that case in Iowa and America’s most competitive battlegrounds all summer and fall.” 

Women Speak Out PAC, a partner of SBA Pro-Life America, is a super PAC amplifying the voices of women opposed to abortion extremists. Since 2014, Women Speak Out PAC has built the largest pro-life on-the-ground political campaign in the country.
