Chris West Gets Boost From Extreme Anti-Abortion Group

Anti-choice group National Right to Life Committee investing in GA-02

Anti-abortion group National Right to Life Committee’s (NRLC) super PAC is investing in GA-02, going to bat for Chris West as Election Day approaches.

As reported by Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, West wants to ban abortion with no exceptions, not even to save the life of the mother. NRLC knows that West will push their extreme anti-choice agenda if sent to Congress, and this latest investment should send a stark warning to Georgia voters.

  • NRLC supports a nationwide abortion ban.

  • NRLC is pushing model legislation in states that would ban abortions with no exceptions for rape or incest.

  • NRLC’s general counsel, Jim Bopp, bragged about their model legislation that would allow states to force young girls to carry a rapist’s child to term, and even said NRLC hopes that child rape victims “would understand the reason and ultimately the benefit of having the child.”

  • NRLC wants to ban telemedicine for medical abortions, at a time when cancer patients and people with auto-immune diseases are unable to access their life-saving medication because anti-abortion extremists worry it could be used to terminate a pregnancy.

NRLC’s investment in this race is yet another reminder that Chris West and House Republicans will ban abortion nationwide if given the opportunity.

DCCC spokesperson Monica Robinson: 
“Out of 435 congressional races across the country, an anti-abortion group who wants to ban abortion nationwide chose to invest in Chris West. This should send a clear message to GA-02 voters that if elected West will work with his extreme Republican colleagues to ban abortion in every state.”
