Election 2020: Pro-life Women More than Double in US House

[LiveAction.org] As the votes continued to be tallied on Wednesday following Election Day, at least 13 races were called in favor of new pro-life women Representatives in Congress.

Susan B. Anthony List, a national pro-life organization, announced the victory Wednesday afternoon on Twitter. Marjorie Dannenfelser, the President at SBA List, called the "surge of victorious pro-life women candidates in the US House… a stunning blow to Nancy Pelosi and her pro-abortion agenda."

In addition to the 13 new pro-life female Members, all of the 11 current pro-life females in the House won reelection Tuesday night, and Rep. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming will join the Senate next Congress as an additional pro-life female. Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa pulled off a tight victory to secure her seat, along with Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi. Sen. Kelly Loeffler of Georgia advanced to a runoff election that will take place January 5, 2021.

Liberty Counsel writes, "Maria Salazar (FL), Yvette Herrell (NM), Michelle Fischbach (MN), Nancy Mace (SC), Stephanie Brice (OK), Ashley Hinson (IA), and Nicole Malliotakis (NY) flipped Democrat-held seats. Six other pro-life women will replace pro-life men in the House: Lauren Boebert (CO), Lisa McClain (MI), Kat Cammack (FL), Diana Harshbarger (TN), Mary Miller (IL), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA). At least six pro-life women will also serve in the US Senate in January. They are Sens. Joni Ernst (IA), Cindy Hyde-Smith (MS), Shelley Moore Capito (WV), Cynthia Lummis (WY), Marsha Blackburn (TN) and Deb Fischer (NE)."

With these 13 additional pro-life women—seven of whom flipped Democrat-held seats in the House—there is hope to make waves with pro-life initiatives like the Born Alive Petition. The discharge petition was launched by Republican Whip Steve Scalise in the 116th Congress to attempt to override Speaker Nancy Pelosi's refusal to bring Rep. Ann Wagner's Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act to the House floor for vote. If the petition garners at least 218 Member signatures, a vote will be forced on the bill, and if passed, would protect infants born alive during botched abortions. With this election cycle's increase in pro-life women in the House, hopes of reaching the necessary 218 signatures have increased.

As of noon on Wednesday, eight races with other pro-life female candidates for the House of Representatives had yet to be called.
