Washington, D.C. – Today the national pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) criticized U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s (D-NH) pro-abortion record after she voted in favor of the so-called “Women’s Health Protection Act”, legislation that would have expanded abortion until the moment of birth and blocked new and existing pro-life laws. Shaheen is a vocal advocate for abortion.
A poll of likely voters conducted by OnMessageInc. and released this week by SBA List finds that a strong majority of Americans in battleground states, including New Hampshire, reject abortion on demand until the moment of birth and support a 15-week limit on abortion.
SBA List previously announced it will score against the bill and sent a memo to Capitol Hill detailing the bill’s extreme provisions.
SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser commented:
“Senator Jeanne Shaheen is an extremist, joining Biden and Schumer in pushing a radical pro-abortion agenda that voters in New Hampshire strongly reject. The deeply unpopular, deceptively named ‘Women’s Health Protection Act’ would wipe away virtually all pro-life protections in the states – even a limit on late-term abortions after six months of pregnancy that Gov. Sununu recently signed into law – and would establish a federal right to abortion on demand until the moment of birth, a policy that that puts the United States in line with China and North Korea on late-term abortion.
“Abortion is not health care. Shaheen and her party are dramatically out of step with constituents, and we will work hard to educate voters on their record.”
Shaheen has been in the U.S Senate since 2009. During that time, she has supported a radical abortion agenda and has an F on SBA List’s National Pro-Life Scorecard.
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.
SBA List is a network of 900,000 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.
