Lol!!!!! First laugh I have had in a long time.
From Craig deRoche of Family Policy Alliance:
____________________________________________________________
What about protecting the sanctity of life?
As we analyze the election results, the news on the life issue is mixed. The good news is that nearly half the states have very strong protections for children in the womb and their mothers After Roe—with eight more having at least some good protections. In other words, most states had already decided to be pro-life or pro-abortion After Roe before voting ever started for the midterm election.
The bad news is that in the five states (California, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana and Vermont) where abortion was on the ballot, the pro-abortion side won in each of those states. The results in California and Vermont were no surprise. However, the tough fight in Michigan and the losses in Kentucky and Montana were disappointing. In some ways, these states were the victims of unfortunate timing – fighting this battle at a time when the Left was at maximum motivation following major pro-life victories.
Fearing a more pro-life America, Planned Parenthood alone invested a record-setting $50 million in elections, and Democrats nearly unanimously fell in line—making abortion their number one campaign issue.
Despite the heavy investment, the U.S. House seems likely to flip to Republican control, which will stop the extreme abortion-on-demand up to birth approach that Nancy Pelosi’s House has taken. And there were many victories for pro-life candidates across the country, at all levels of government but especially in state-level offices. These are fantastic victories!
Many political commentators are noting that the big stories from last night are the decisive victories for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. All of these big winners were unabashedly pro-life candidates—and that’s an important lesson for other candidates to learn.
The bottom line is that despite over half the states having moved to protect the sanctity of life, Democrats still ran on abortion—too often against Republicans who spoke apologetically about their pro-life position. Confident, bold leadership to protect life can win, as the governors mentioned above demonstrate.
The overturning of Roe was a critical win—and it has already led to the saving of many thousands of babies. But as we said before—and this election proves—the road to making abortion unthinkable is a long one that will require our diligence and commitment. The next stage of that road is right around the corner, with pivotal 2023 state legislative sessions and the start of the 2024 presidential race. You are right in the middle of that through your support of Family Policy Alliance and our allied state organizations.
The Five 11/9/22
Greg Gutfeld: Desantis now is the guy. He’s a different kind of rival than the others. He’s a strong governor who just whipped Charlie Crist.
Jesse Waters: Right. But he could get DESTROYED in the primary with Trump. Brutalized. ANNIHILATED.
Greg: How so?
Jesse: Verbally.
Greg: Yeah but if...
Jesse: Because if you look at the voters in these primary states, in the south, in critical battleground states, they will vote for Donald Trump over Ron Desantis.
I support a woman’s right to be born.
Please PRAY for the unborn.

If abortion was a major factor in the election hard to explain how 3 pro-life governors had huge nights: DeSantis, Abbott & Kemp. Lots of projection going on, not serious analysis.
🤣😂
Thanks!
feels so good to be free of them!
had to wear them 24/7 for 30 days.
YARGH!
I agree.
I’m here but watching Tucker and waiting PATIENTLY for a new update on the vote in AZ.
Our next governor, Kari Lake, is going to be on too.
