2018 Election Update: Illinois 3 where Pro-life Lipinski faces pro-abortion challenger on March 20

Pro-life incumbent Congressman Dan Lipinski
On Tuesday, pro-life incumbent Congressman Dan Lipinski will square off against pro-abortion challenger Marie Newman in a primary in Illinois’ 3rd Congressional district. Naturally National Right to Life has endorsed pro-life Rep. Lipinski who has served in the House since 2005.

What makes this contest, currently seen as a tossup, so very unusual is that it is a Democratic primary. Rep. Lipinski is a staunch pro-life Democrat, and in the crosshairs of the pro-abortion political machine, including EMILY’s List and NARAL Pro-Choice America.

Unlike the Democratic candidate in Pennsylvania’s 18th congressional district, in which Conor Lamb claimed to be personally pro-life but would vote against pro-life legislation – including abortion after the babies can feel pain – Congressman Lipinski is truly pro-life with a long record to prove it.

“We commend Congressman Lipinski for his steadfast position on protecting innocent human life throughout his years of service in Congress,” said Carol Tobias, National Right to Life president. “We also appreciate him for his continued service as co-chairman of the Congressional Pro-life Caucus. His leadership in the face of tremendous opposition from his own Party is an inspiration to all who fight for life.”
