With the November 4 election around the corner, and early/absentee voting in full swing, have you or will you be voting for a pro-abortion candidate? If so, why?

I wrote yesterday that a desperate Planned Parenthood was trying to sabotage SBA List/Lila Rose’s “Women speak out: Defund Planned Parenthood” bus tour by replicating it with its own “Truth Tour” – holding rallies at 7 of SBA’s 11 stops 1/2 hour before SBA’s. The first dueling buses meet-up was at Republican pro-life Congressman Randy […]
