Exclusive: A Republican businesswoman is trying to overturn Democrats’ abortion policies in this year’s election, and many pro-life groups in one battleground state got a major boost on Mother’s Day.
Former U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler of Georgia, a staunch supporter of policies that protect the unborn, has donated about $150,000 to more than 20 organizations in battleground states and across the country, including adoption and foster care agencies, pregnancy support centers and faith-based organizations.
Loeffler, who is rumored to be a potential candidate for governor or U.S. Senate in 2026, told Fox News Digital that the donation is intended to provide resources and raise awareness for families, in stark contrast to the pro-abortion messaging of President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Every Mother’s Day, we see more organizations donating,” Loeffler told Fox, “and as a strong pro-life advocate, as a woman of faith, as someone who believes in the sanctity of life, I think this is the best investment we can make in our community. And this is in stark contrast to the messaging that’s coming out of the left today.”
“Biden and Harris are on their tour, whatever they want to call it, reproductive freedom doesn’t seem like the right word, but they’re touting abortion as their No. 1 issue and a benefit of President Biden across the country. And I think there’s a better way forward for our country and our families.”
Democrats are trying to make abortion a central theme in this year’s presidential and House elections, with polls showing their chances of retaining the White House and Senate under threat.
Many see the abortion issue as a way to boost turnout for Democrats, who have struggled with less enthusiastic supporters than Republicans.
Loeffler said this is an issue for Democrats because otherwise they would have nothing else to stand for.

“They’re making this an issue because it’s an issue. They need to mobilize their base. Their voter enthusiasm is so low that no matter how much money they throw at it, they’re losing voters across the board,” Loeffler said. “They’re being forced to push more and more extreme ideas, like abortion at birth, which is really what they want.”
“With Biden economics not working, Americans struggling to make ends meet before payday, consumer debt topping $1 trillion, interest rates soaring with no end in sight, they turned to abortion,” she added. “They tried a threat to democracy. Nobody knew what it was. It didn’t work. And that’s their problem.”
While Loeffler acknowledged that the majority of Americans agree that abortion should be legal up to 15 weeks of pregnancy, she argued that raising awareness of resources for foster children, adoptive parents and pregnancy support centers, and providing more of these resources to religious and other organizations, would naturally change Americans’ views on the issue.
“What we need is a campaign to educate people about what other options are out there, what choices are there, as opposed to the abortion industry pushing abortion as the only solution,” Loeffler said. “There are so many other ways to strengthen families and communities and care for our neighbors. And it doesn’t start with abortion. It starts with providing the necessary and available resources.”

Instead, she said, abortion rights should be decided at the state level, as former President Trump recently suggested.
Loeffler argued that despite Democrats’ efforts to put abortion measures on the ballot to boost turnout, people will ultimately show up to the polls and “vote their conscience.” But she predicted that most people will prove to be more than just one-issue voters.

“We care about the direction of the economy. We care about the border closing. We care that crime needs to go down. We care that kids need to be able to read by third grade. And yet Democrats have failed on every other policy, leaving us with no choice but to focus this campaign on a single issue,” she said.
“The more money the Biden-Harris team spends on the pro-abortion campaign, the lower they are in the polls. So it’s going to be interesting. It’s going to be a very dynamic development. But I think we can be confident that what we’re supporting is improving the human condition, not ending the human condition.”
