Kentucky voters had a clear choice in the gubernatorial race when it comes to abortion politics today. And in the end the pro-life governor who served women and unborn children so proudly went home in defeat to a Democrat who fundraised with an abortionist.
Republican Gov. Matt Bevin has a strong pro-life record by defending unborn babies and cracking down on abortion businesses for not following the law. His opponent, Democrat Andy Beshear, has a radical pro-abortion stance. As state attorney general, he refused to defend a Kentucky law that protects unborn babies from abortions after 20 weeks.
Voters unfortunately did not reward Bevin’s strong pro-life record by sending him back to the governor’s mansion.
With 99% of the vote counted, Beshear defeated Bevin by a 49-48 percent margin.
Bevin has a strong record of protecting unborn babies and mothers from abortion. He has cracked down on abortion clinics, ensuring that they meet health and safety regulations. In 2016, his administration took legal action against Planned Parenthood after its new Lexington facility began aborting unborn babies without a license. That facility still is prohibited from aborting unborn babies.
As governor, Bevin has signed multiple pro-life laws, including measures to ban abortions after an unborn baby’s heartbeat is detectable, protect unborn babies with Down syndrome from discrimination and protect unborn babies from brutal dismemberment abortions.
Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser said Bevin is a pro-life hero, and the Kentucky abortion lobby is trying desperately to unseat him. Her organization is working to inform voters in Kentucky ahead of the election.
In contrast, Beshear has a pro-abortion record and recently participated in a fundraiser with a Kentucky abortionist. In 2017, he refused to defend a Kentucky law that protects unborn babies by banning abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
WTF were Republicans made at Bevin about? Teacher's Union BS??!!! Sheesh!
Your post is an example why the Republicans will never change and become a Trumpian populist nationalist working persons party.
OK. Not sure I see that but first amendment... I see that life is a process of working towards goals pragmatically, accepting interim gains as a necessary step on the way even if the immediate result is less than satisfactory. If we hold out for purity we will not achieve what others can achieve with a focused vision and compromises to achieve the leverage to make real change.
It’s about moving forward towards a goal within the bigger picture.
Would our country have been better with another pro-life Governor, with a man who was willing to make pension changes to get the State out of a spiral to the red? I say yes. Warts & all.
400,000! Undervotes?
Again you are hopeless. The first step you should make is admitting the Republican Party is not a party for the common American, American worker and does not represent their best interests.
The Republican Party should be killing it against the lunatic left and it is not. I ASK AGAIN WHY NOT? Quit blaming the electorate....
Communication is so complicated.
I never mentioned the Republican party. I despise the Republican party. Trump is the best path to what I want for our Country.
I support him and if he thinks Bevin in office will make it easier for him to move America towards a smaller centralized Government, to protect religious freedom & the unborn, to nurture an economy that will allow more Americans to climb out of poverty & rise to their dreams, to build the armed services & craft treaties that will keep America safe physically & economically, then I’m on board. Those are only some of the many paths where POTUS & I are aligned. It’s nothing to do with an R, although in general Democrats are an evil bunch. It is who will move our Country forward towards a Constitution respecting, Freedom loving, Economically sound place.
Can a deindustrialized USA be economically sound?
I guess trying to stop killing little babies about to come into this world is a sign of weakness and unpopular.
“A nation that kills its own children is a nation without hope.”

No.
Close, but I think people survive better by alliances.
The divisions you are talking about, the tribal warfare, exist not because we lack an enemy but because we have been turned into each other’s enemies by Cultural Marxists, by subversive, by those who employ Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals in using manufactured hatred as a political strategy.
