Des Moines, IA – Women Speak Out PAC, a partner of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, announced the launch of a campaign to show voters the extreme pro-abortion agenda of Democrats Josh Turek and Rob Sand. This effort includes a $625,000 investment in digital ads, voter mail, text messages and phone calls focused on 500,000 pro-life voters statewide. The groups’ larger campaign, including efforts on the ground, absentee voting, and early voting to reach 10 million persuadable and low-turnout voters in battleground states for the 2026 cycle.

SBA Pro-Life America Candidate Fund has endorsed Ashley Hinson for U.S. Senate and Zach Lahn for governor.

Digital ads highlight Turek’s and Sand’s support for painful late-term abortions with no limits, paid for by taxpayers, and abortions for minors without parental consent. Message testing conducted in swing midterm races and released by SBA Pro-Life America shows going on offense to call out Democrats’ extremism on late-term abortion moves the margin 4-5 points toward the pro-life candidate.

Kelsey Pritchard, a spokeswoman for Women Speak Out, went after Turek and Sand for pretending to be moderates while seeking to strip away key Iowa protections for the unborn, saying:

“Rob Sand has twisted scripture to dehumanize the unborn even up to the moment of birth, say ‘life begins at breath.’ Josh Turek is endorsed by radical pro-abortion groups and seeks to join a Democratic Senate caucus that unanimously backs a national law bringing Massachusetts-style abortion up-to-birth to Iowa and every state across the country. The Democratic Party supports aborting babies in the seventh, eighth and ninth months of pregnancy, even for healthy moms and healthy babies who feel excruciating pain. This is far too extreme for Iowans.”

This election cycle, SBA Pro-Life America and its affiliated entities plan to spend $80 million to protect life across America. The groups’ voter contact program—the largest and most effective of its kind in the country—includes reaching 10 million voters across Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Montana, Georgia South Carolina and Texas as well as Iowa. The group has visited the homes of nearly 250,000 Iowa voters thus far.

Women Speak Out PAC is a partner of SBA Pro-Life America, 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.

 Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than one million pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
