To flip the state House, a priority for Democrats, the party must win several swing districts and unseat popular Republican incumbents like Todd Stephens.
The bill hasn’t passed the state Senate, and the statute for murder of an unborn child specifically excludes abortion providers. Stephens, a former federal prosecutor known for supporting “tough-on-crime” policies like mandatory minimums, said his vote was to protect pregnant women from domestic violence.
Stephens, the lobbyist wrote, has consistently voted for the organization’s positions, has been “an important confidant and conduit of information helpful to our cause,” and was informed of the group’s opposition to the fetal sentencing bill only after he had already cast a vote. But now that abortion rules are up to states and their lawmakers, politicians will need to find a way to effectively communicate their position while navigating an issue with far more shades of gray than the day’s partisan politics allow for.
At a town-wide yard sale in the latter, she told anyone who would listen that if they vote Republican, they may get more than they bargained for. Steele’s race is one of 30 for state House seats that has a single-digit difference between projected vote share for Democratic and Republican candidates. These seats will decide whether Republicans hold onto their legislative majority.
from LifePAC, a group that opposes abortion access, Tomson supported banning abortion without exceptions for rape and incest.
