WASHINGTON — The National Right to Life Federal Political Action Committee and the federal SCCL PAC today endorsed Senator Darline Graham in the August 25 Republican runoff election for the U.S. Senate.

“Senator Darline Graham is 100% pro-life and has dedicated her life to serving those who are disadvantaged and most in need of protection,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “From the beginning of her campaign, Senator Graham has clearly and consistently affirmed her pro-life convictions. She understands that protecting life means standing with both mothers and their unborn children.”

Senator Graham received a 100% rating on the National Right to Life candidate survey and has supported legislation to protect unborn children and assist women and families. Her record includes backing the SAVE Moms and Babies Act, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act, the Pregnant Students’ Rights Act, the Forced Abortion Prevention and Accountability Act, and the More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed Act.

“Senator Graham shares our commitment to creating a culture in which every unborn child is welcomed into life and protected under law in a way that cares for both the mother and her child,” said Holly Gatling, director of the federal SCCL PAC. “Her commitment to protecting the life of the unborn child and providing compassionate care to the mother is unwavering.” 

Senator Graham has backed legislation to protect babies who survive abortions, make the Hyde Amendment permanent, prevent federal funding of abortion overseas, safeguard women from forced abortions, and connect pregnant women and new mothers with adoption services, pregnancy centers, and other community resources.

“South Carolina needs a senator who will defend vulnerable human life and advance compassionate policies that support women and their children,” Tobias continued. “The National Right to Life Federal PAC and the federal SCCL PAC are proud to stand with Senator Darline Graham and urge pro-life South Carolinians to vote for her on August 25.”

Founded in 1968, the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of affiliates in each of the 50 states, is the nation’s oldest and largest grassroots pro-life organization. National Right to Life works through legislation and education to protect innocent human life from abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide, and euthanasia.

WASHINGTON — National Right to Life, the federation of state right-to-life affiliates, today announced its endorsement of Congresswoman Julia Letlow for election to the U.S. Senate at Louisiana Right to Life’s Acadiana Quarterly Preaux Life Luncheon in Lafayette, Louisiana.

“National Right to Life is pleased to endorse Julia Letlow for the United States Senate,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “Throughout her service in the House of Representatives, Congresswoman Letlow has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to protecting innocent human life and supporting mothers and their children.”

Since entering Congress in 2021, Letlow has had a 100% pro-life voting record which includes votes to protect babies who survive abortions, prevent taxpayer funding of abortion, and stop federal funding from flowing to major abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood.

“Julia Letlow understands that every human life has value and deserves protection,” Tobias continued. “Louisiana families can trust her to stand against the abortion industry’s radical agenda and to defend the most vulnerable members of our society.”

Letlow’s opponent, Democrat Jamie Davis, has said he supports codifying Roe v. Wade and restoring a federal right to abortion. Such legislation would threaten Louisiana’s protective laws and prevent elected lawmakers from safeguarding unborn children and their mothers.

“The contrast in this election could not be more clear,” Tobias said. “Julia Letlow will defend Louisiana’s pro-life values in the United States Senate, while Jamie Davis would support efforts to impose abortion on demand through federal law.”

National Right to Life urges all pro-life voters in Louisiana to vote for Julia Letlow in the November 3 general election.

“Julia Letlow has earned the confidence and support of pro-life Louisianans,” Tobias added. “National Right to Life looks forward to working with Senator Julia Letlow to advance protections for unborn children and provide compassionate support for women and families.”

WASHINGTON — Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has signed H.5595, deceptively titled the “Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act,” eliminating the state’s remaining statutory limits on abortions performed after 24 weeks of pregnancy.

Previously, Massachusetts law permitted abortions after 24 weeks only when necessary to preserve the life or physical or mental health of the mother, or in cases involving a lethal or severe fetal diagnosis. The new law replaces those statutory conditions with the “professional judgment” of the physician performing the abortion—effectively allowing abortion for any reason throughout pregnancy, including when both mother and unborn child are healthy.

The legislation also eliminates the requirement that abortions after 24 weeks be performed in a hospital, removing an important safeguard for women undergoing dangerous late-term procedures.

“Governor Healey and the Massachusetts Legislature have erased the final protections for unborn children who can feel pain and who could survive outside the womb,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “At the very stage when premature babies are receiving lifesaving care in neonatal intensive care units, Massachusetts will permit abortionists to end the lives of children of the same age—and even older. That is not compassion, and it is not health care.”

Supporters claim the law protects the doctor-patient relationship, but it places the decision entirely in the hands of the abortion provider while denying any legal protection to the unborn child.

“Legalizing elective abortion up to birth on healthy mothers and healthy, pain-capable unborn children is not about protecting the doctor-patient relationship,” said Myrna Maloney Flynn, president of Massachusetts Citizens for Life, National Right to Life’s state affiliate. “It is about abortionists normalizing the deaths of fully developed infants and pressuring vulnerable women to permit their unborn children to die in heinous acts of violence. These abortions represent among the most severe human rights abuses permitted in only a few places around the world, including China and North Korea.”

The Massachusetts House passed H.5595 on July 22 by a vote of 119–33. The Senate approved the measure on July 31 and sent it to Governor Healey.

“This law exposes the dishonesty behind the claim that no one supports abortion until birth,” Tobias continued. “When lawmakers remove every objective limitation and authorize an abortion provider to decide whether an abortion may be performed at any point in pregnancy, abortion until birth is precisely what the law allows.”

National Right to Life and Massachusetts Citizens for Life remain committed to protecting mothers and their unborn children from an abortion industry that profits when vulnerable women believe they have no better choice.
