"And now politics – especially the progressive abortion agenda – is highly 'interested in you.' Abortion politicians are not just engaging in politics for the right to abortion. They are now leveraging their political positions to directly attack pro-life activity." - Jor-El Godsey
Abortion is on the ballot at all levels this election season. In a time when pregnancy help is under increasing attack, it is crucial that we stand firm and remain united in our mission to provide life-affirming care. And it is also crucial that we vote.
Kamala Harris is pushing an agenda more extreme than any we’ve seen, making unrestricted abortion the centerpiece of her campaign.
And according to a recent survey, 32 million Christians aren’t planning to vote in this election.
Might I suggest the following rewrite: As committed pro-lifers, we must make our voices heard and unite in opposition to Harris’s radical stance on abortion.

Harris has taken unprecedented steps to promote abortion:
- Misinformation on “healthcare”: Harris claims restrictions on abortion are causing a healthcare crisis. Yet the reality is chemical abortions – for which Harris advocates – have increased ER visits by 500%. Women face four times the risk of complications with these abortions compared to surgical ones.
- Distortion of rights: On the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Harris removed “the right to life” from the Declaration of Independence when discussing Americans’ freedoms. This isn’t accidental – it is a deliberate attempt to undermine the fundamental right to life and promote abortion as a form of “liberty.”
- False claims about “pro-choice”: Harris has claimed to be pro-choice, yet her actions show otherwise. While District Attorney in California, she tried to force pro-life pregnancy centers to refer for abortions, directly attacking the First Amendment. Harris’ true aim: Eliminate all choices except the choice of abortion.
- Spreading fear: Harris and the media claim abortion restrictions prevent proper medical care, even for miscarriages – a tactic meant to scare women. But no abortion law in the nation prohibits treating miscarriage or ectopic pregnancies. It’s simply misinformation to sway public opinion.
The bottom line? Harris promotes abortion above all else, even if it means spreading falsehoods to do so. Her agenda is one of unrestrained abortion access at any cost, with no regard for the health and well-being of women or their children.

This election is critical, and we need every Christian to stand up and vote for leaders who value life and liberty for all.
Women in crisis rely on the steadfast support of pregnancy help to offer material resources, medical help and, in some cases, housing.
Women facing unexpected pregnancies need compassionate, life-affirming support, and they deserve the freedom to choose a path that respects both their health and the life of their child.
Know what's on the ballot in your state
The abortion agenda isn’t limited to the presidential race in this election. Abortion is on the ballot in some U.S. states as well.
Constitutional amendments are an extreme way to change laws in a state. In fact, many states do not allow for these citizen-initiated constitutional amendments. Understanding what is happening in your state this year is important to be prepared for the upcoming election.
As we watch the pro-abortion strategy to enshrine abortion into law in 10 states this year, we can learn what to watch for in the election.
Their overly broad language is intentionally crafted to appear harmless; while in reality, its impact will undo decades of work and even the most basic protections for women and their unborn babies.
Terms such as 'health,' 'individual,' 'burden,' and 'miscarriage care' should be red flags to us whenever we see them in upcoming constitutional amendments regarding so-called 'reproductive freedom.'
Below are examples of terms used to obscure their abortion agenda and manipulate voters.
It’s important to note that our work will continue no matter who sits in the White House next year and regardless of the outcome of the various state ballot initiatives.
Still, I urge you to make your voice heard in this election and join us in supporting women with real, life-affirming choices.
