GOP Less Pro-Life?



In the aftermath of November's election, many are wondering if there's any life left in the Republican Party's pro-life movement.

 Marilyn Musgrave of the Susan B. Anthony List tells OneNewsNow that when Republicans lose, they tend to point "an accusing finger at social conservatives" -- an attitude she says is a mistake, as the pro-life issue has not been at the forefront of party politics.

"That is disheartening to think about the real base of the Republican Party that are the faithful voters, the ones who do all the grunt work in election time," she comments.

"You know, leaving those people with just the impression that Yes -- it'll be in the platform, but we're really not going to act upon it is really politically disastrous for the Republicans."

So Musgrave says Republicans need to re-engage on the sanctity of human life. She also believes pro-life groups took a blow in the last election.

"But … I've been in this battle a long time, and we are on the right side of this when we stand for life," the former U.S. congresswoman asserts. "And I know that we will be always ready to stand for the sanctity of human life, even when dealt a blow like seeing the most pro-abortion president ever reelected in this country."

Musgrave goes on to stress that pro-lifers, regardless of political affiliation, have certainly revived and are fully prepared to press on in the fight for life.
