Anti-abortion group reveals $52M budget to help Trump, Senate Republicans in battleground states

A prominent anti-abortion group rolled out a $52 million budget to help boost President Trump's reelection efforts and support Senate Republicans in key battleground states later this year.

The Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) and its partner super PAC, Women Speak Out PAC, announced Friday that part of the hefty budget will help fund efforts to expand their boots on the ground, mailing and phone calls to voters and digital ads. The groups said they intend to make four million visits to voters overall before election day on Nov. 3.

The groups will focus on Arizona, Iowa, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin, all key battleground states that will be competitive in the presidential race and host contested Senate races.

“The stakes of this election could not be higher. Democratic contenders for president are lining up to support abortion on demand, and even infanticide, and declaring war on even the most modest pro-life policies. Meanwhile, President Trump has governed as the most pro-life president in our nation’s history,” said Mallory Quigley, national spokeswoman for SBA List and Women Speak Out PAC’s independent expenditure campaign.

No presidential candidate has endorsed infanticide, the practice of killing a baby after it is born, though the refrain has emerged as a chief GOP talking point after Senate Democrats blocked legislation last year that would penalize doctors who fail to "exercise the proper degree of care in the case of a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion."

The campaign will focus on door-to-door visits targeting “traditional Democrat voter groups” who the groups say “may simply be unaware of the Democrats’ support for extreme pro-abortion policies.” The groups added that canvassers have already spoken with 460,000 voters in the eight swing states.

not just for ads in Wisconsin and elsewhere, but for GOTV efforts and door-to-door canvassing.
