Major Pro-life Victories in the Missouri General Election!

Nov 5, 2020

By  Steve Rupp, President, Missouri Right to Life (MRL)

While Missouri pro-lifers have much to celebrate today, we are praying for President Trump and his fight to save America.

Great job Missouri pro-lifers for all your work to help our MRL PAC endorsed candidates win! Our legislative team is analyzing the overall picture but there are some standout victories! 

Pro-life champions, Congresswoman Ann Wagner in Congressional District 2 and Missouri Senator Andrew Koenig in SD 15 were targeted by pro-abortion forces and heavily funded by out-of-state deep pockets. Both of these pro-life warriors were re-elected. Missouri Right to Life Federal and State PAC volunteers turned out with many hours of work and funding to guarantee these wins!  

We also celebrate victories for all the pro-life, statewide office holders who won their re-election bid with pro-lifers turning out in huge numbers. Congratulations to Governor Mike Parson, Lt. Governor Mike Kehoe, Attorney General Eric Schmitt, Secretary of State John (Jay) Ashcroft, and State Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick.  We look forward to working with these pro-life leaders in the months and years to come!

Another key victory for all Missourians is the reconsideration of the re-districting process and bringing it back to a non-partisan process. Missourians will have the right and opportunity to elect people in their areas that will represent them in the districts where they live. This will benefit the pro-life cause as we will be able to elect pro-life legislators to represent us in Jefferson City.

Initial analysis by our MRL PAC election team shows that the MRL Federal and State Political Action Committees made 144 endorsements. Out of those 144 endorsements we had an 88% success rate. This analysis includes the races where the MRL State PAC endorsed in known pro-abortion districts so that pro-life constituents in those districts would know of the pro-life candidate. 

With the work of our Missouri Right to Life PACs and pro-life people across the state of Missouri, we continue to hold super-majorities in the Missouri House and Senate. The numbers for the House and Senate are: 114 pro-life Republicans to 49 pro-abortion Democrats in the House and 24 pro-life Republicans to 10 pro-abortion Democrats in the Senate.  

Thank you, pro-life Missourians for all your work! You turned out in huge numbers to fight for the right to life of the babies and every innocent human life!

Pray for President Trump and our nation!
