In 2024 Mike Rogers said he'd vote against a national abortion ban and respect Michigan's abortion-rights amendment. On an evangelical radio show on Oct. 29, asked to promise he wouldn't side with Democrats on abortion, he said 'You don't even have to think about it twice,' pointed to his 100% pro-life rating and said 'This is the only way that I know how to be' in the Senate.
Sarah Sanders held an event to celebrate Arkansas being named the most pro-life state for the seventh year in a row. Arkansas is the only state that won't give new mothers a full year of Medicaid, and her administration helped kill the Republican bill that would have.
At a Sunday faith event in Wichita, Marshall spoke alongside Operation Rescue's Troy Newman and pastors who said Kansas was 'soaked with the blood of the innocent' and sending babies 'to Molech.'

Texas's report on women who die during and after pregnancy usually comes out by early September. This year, the first one with data from after Texas banned abortion, the state health department Greg Abbott runs says it's aiming for Dec. 1, a month after Abbott faces voters. His office says 'there is no delay.' It did the same thing in 2022.
Lisa Demuth's general-election pitch is bipartisan and pragmatic. To win her party's nomination, she told activists she 'fights and wins for the MAGA agenda.' She wrote a fetal-heartbeat abortion ban, blocked an assault-weapons ban after the Annunciation shooting, and still won't say Joe Biden legitimately won in 2020.
Two weeks before Election Day, Collins told a Maine TV station she had no way to anticipate Kavanaugh's vote to overturn Roe. Her own 2018 floor speech named the concern, and Trump had promised justices who would do it.
A ProPublica investigation traces how Ken Paxton sued a New York doctor, helped Idaho revive its ban, threatened hospitals over a court-approved abortion and prosecuted a midwife — and what anti-abortion groups expect him to do with a Senate seat.
