Anti-abortion group National Right to Life Committee’s (NRLC) super PAC is investing in NC-01, going to bat for Sandy Smith as Election Day approaches.
Sandy Smith advocates for a total ban on abortion with no exceptions, not even to save the life of the mother, and described abortion as “premeditated murder.” NRLC knows that Smith will push their extreme anti-choice agenda if sent to Congress, and this latest investment should send a stark warning to North Carolina 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 Smith 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 Sandy Smith. This should send a clear message to NC-01 voters that if elected Smith will work with her extreme Republican colleagues to ban abortion in every state.”
