Pro-Life Group Invests in Michigan Senate Race
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America has announced a $4.5 million investment aimed at influencing Michigan’s upcoming Open Senate seat election. The organization plans to engage directly with 1 million voters by Election Day in 2026, utilizing various strategies such as digital ads, voter outreach emails, and early voting campaigns as the election date approaches.
The targeted regions for this effort will be Lansing, Detroit, and Grand Rapids. These cities will focus on mobilizing pro-life supporters who may not typically vote in midterm elections, as noted in a press release from the organization.
“We’re energized and ready for this new chapter in our mission for life,” stated Emily Green, the SBA field director. She emphasized that the recent events, including the murder of a pivotal pro-life advocate Charlie Kirk, have only strengthened their dedication to their cause. Connecting with voters and winning key elections is seen as vital to saving unborn lives and supporting mothers.
Since 2014, the group has claimed success in six election cycles, reaching 31 million voters in competitive states, including Michigan. The statement also highlighted the closure of numerous Planned Parenthood clinics in the state since the 2024 elections, indicating shifts in political control.
Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America, detailed plans for the next year, with 1 million voter interactions expected to bolster the pro-life majority in the U.S. Senate. She criticized the abortion industry’s funding via Medicaid and called for alternatives to ensure better healthcare without political ramifications.
With Senator Gary Peters opting not to seek re-election, the seat has attracted various candidates. Democrats are vying for their nomination, including U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens and state Sen. Mallory McMorrow. On the Republican side, only former Rep. Mike Rogers has declared his candidacy so far, with a narrow race expected after the previous election cycle.
Dannenfelser warned of the extreme positions of potential Democratic candidates in the Senate race, claiming that they oppose critical healthcare protections for babies and support late-term abortions. This sentiment was echoed by Tim Scott, the National Republican Senators Committee Chairman, who noted that Trump’s influence in Michigan will be a major factor in the upcoming elections.
Amid the political maneuvering, SBA Pro-Life America has dedicated significant resources to challenge perceived “pro-abortion extremists,” showcasing the ongoing tensions surrounding reproductive rights in the state.
