Anthony Pro-Life \u2063America Takes a Stand<\/h2>\n<p>The anti-abortion organization Susan \u2063B. Anthony Pro-Life America is ramping up \u200bits \u200defforts to push Republican candidates to support a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-republicans-in-at-risk-seats-taking-commonsense-approach-to-abortion\/\" title=\"House Republicans in vulnerable seats are adopting a \"commonsense\" stance on abortion.\">federal 15-week abortion ban<\/a>. In fact, they \u2063are even considering withholding their influential\u200b endorsement if candidates do not meet their standards.<\/p>\n<p>Coming off \u200ba recent defeat in Ohio, where they blame weak Republicans and grassroots apprehension for their loss, the organization\u2064 is determined to make their voice\u2064 heard ahead of the\u200b first Republican \u200cpresidential primary debate.<\/p>\n<h3>Championing the Cause<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s possible that we would endorse a candidate, but \u200cit&#8217;s also possible that we won&#8217;t,&#8221; says SBA president Marjorie Dannenfelser. She emphasizes the \u2064importance of candidates\u200c communicating\u200d their commitment to federal minimum\u200b standards and their plans to combat the &#8220;extremes of California, \u200bIllinois, and New York,&#8221; where abortion\u2062 is supported &#8220;up \u2063to the end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SBA has already called out former President Donald Trump\u2063 and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL)\u200c for not meeting their standards. Dannenfelser explains that before the overturn of\u2063 Roe v. Wade, Republican politicians could \u2063<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-lefts-push-to-cancel-conservative-media-isnt-fighting-disinformation-its-censorship\/\" title=\"The Left\u2019s Push To Cancel Conservative Media Isn\u2019t \u2018Fighting Disinformation.\u2019 It\u2019s Censorship.\">pay lip service<\/a> to the cause without much consequence. However, now that Roe has been \u200doverturned, their actions carry real weight.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past 50 years, Americans have become accustomed to lenient abortion access, so it&#8217;s expected that there\u200c will be trepidation and \u200cshort-term losses. However, Dannenfelser sees this as a turning point, a &#8220;pro-life spring of America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>The Path to Victory<\/h3>\n<p>To achieve their goals, \u2062Dannenfelser believes that the Republican Party\u2064 and its candidates must effectively\u200b message their position.\u2063 They \u2064need to highlight the virtues of their stance and contrast it with the &#8220;extreme \u2063abortion up until the moment of birth&#8221; position\u2062 of the Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>She criticizes \u2064the &#8220;head \u2062in the \u2062sand&#8221; strategy of the 2022 \u200cmidterms and urges\u2063 Republicans to\u200d embrace contrast \u200cand intensity. According to\u200c Dannenfelser, when \u200dthese \u2062elements are engaged, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-utah-law-requires-biological-dads-to-pay-pregnancy-support\/\" title=\"New Utah Law Requires Biological Dads To Pay Pregnancy Support\">pro-life position<\/a> will prevail.<\/p>\n<p>SBA \u2064vice president for political affairs Billy Valentine adds that Republicans \u200dneed to &#8220;go on offense&#8221; by utilizing media \u200cad-buys and surrogate placements. This is crucial to \u200ccounter \u2064the\u200d financial advantage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-sense-of-an-ending\/\" title=\"The Sense of an Ending\">pro-choice side<\/a>, as seen in Ohio.<\/p>\n<p>Valentine also emphasizes the need for a federal law \u200cto\u200c counteract statewide ballot initiatives. Republicans must focus their messaging on love \u2062and protection for \u2064the child, as\u2063 well as loving service to the woman.<\/p>\n<h3>A Person, Not an Appendix<\/h3>\n<p>Candidates must continue to remind voters that the unborn are not \u2062disposable, but human beings deserving of protection. They need \u2063to convey \u200bthe message \u2064that abortion is not simply removing an appendix, but ending a\u2062 life.<\/p>\n<p>Some skeptical Republicans argue against a national law, fearing it could\u200d lead to Democrats \u2063using federal power to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/anti-abortion-group-vows-to-withhold-influential-endorsement-unless-gop-backs-15-week-ban\/\" title=\"Anti-abortion group threatens to withhold endorsement unless GOP supports 15-week ban.\">override state actions limiting abortion<\/a>. Gov.\u2063 Ron DeSantis expressed this \u200dconcern in a recent interview, \u200ccalling it an &#8220;abuse of power&#8221;\u2063 and a violation of states&#8217; rights.<\/p>\n<p>However, Dannenfelser \u2063and Valentine point out that Democrats are already pushing for &#8220;abortion on demand up until birth&#8221; through \u2062the Women&#8217;s Health Protection Act. They stress the importance\u2062 of not\u200b unilaterally disarming and leaving\u200b the field open\u2062 for\u2063 the opposition to enact laws that would dismantle pro-life protections.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click \u200chere<\/a> to read more \u2062from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Susan B.
