VERY Good News For Pro-lifers Nationally, Bittersweet For Nevada

There was VERY good news for pro-lifers across America and even in Nevada despite the defeat of our good and longtime friend pro-life Sharron Angle.

In Nevada, pro-life Dr. Joe Heck defeated pro-abortion Dina Titus last night for Nevada's third district Congressional seat. That was a huge pick up for pro-lifers and it means that Nevada's delegation is now a majority pro-life delegation with Senator Ensign, Congressman Heller and Congressman elect Heck being the three pro-lifers and Senator Harry Reid and Congresswoman Shelly Berkley being the pro-abortion delegation.


Better news is that the United States House of Representatives will be in pro-life hands again. It will provide a powerful check to the abortion funding and health care rationing death panel provisions of Reid-Pelosi-Obama care. The election was a repudiation of health care reform and its abortion and health care rationing death panel provisions.


Another huge positive is that pro-life Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire won in a landslide in New Hampshire. Her election brings a woman's voice to pro-life issues in the United States Senate. Many other pro-lifers were elected last night to the House and Senate and we may still get more seats in both the House and Senate.


Despite this news it's difficult to stomach the loss of our good friend pro-life Sharron Angle to pro-abortion Harry Reid. The Reid ground game won the day in Nevada as much as many Republicans stabbing Angle in the back. Angle was up by a few points in the polls going into the weekend, and Dr. Heck was up by as many as 10 points. Angle lost by about 5 points and Heck barely hung on. In hindsight it should have been clear to anyone on the ground that the Reid ground game was pervasive and relentless. The Reid machine was ignoring the polls and cranking out every voter it could muster through its tentacles.


The results for pro-lifers from last night's elections give us a lot to celebrate. There was a clear repudiation of the abortion funding, health care rationing death panel laden Reid-Pelosi-Obama care. And Mrs. Angle, if you find this note, thank you your long time support of our cause and the willingness to endure the insults you've taken for it. Thank you for taking them for the unborn and taking them for us. Thank you for enduring a filthy, dirty, rotten, lying, vicious assault. We love you and you are still, and will always be, our hero. Nothing could ever change that.
