“We think Dusty Johnson will be the pro-life thought leader that  Congress needs to promote the sanctity of life and protect citizens from overreaching federal pro-abortion mandates,” Pease said.

  1. Sutton refusing to clarify and commit on where he stands about abortion issues, why would that be? Doesn’t he champion being a pro-life Democrat? Oh, wait, has the Planned Parenthood employee held their fundraiser for him yet?

    With what the Democrats of today represent: open-borders, dead babies, assisted suicide, more govt control, higher taxes – socialism, no 1A or 2A rights, harassment, forced tolerance… I’m not the least bit surprised Sutton has no idea what to say. Don’t step out of line with the Dems, they’ll eat you alive.

  2. So no response from Sutton…I thought that as surprising also.

    Bjorkman did answer the survey from all indications; be nice to see how he did.

    Seiler also did not do the survey. I guess this is just like his position of that he will pick and choose which cases to defend also…

    Congratulations to all 3 candidates that were endorsed today, keep supporting life!

  3. Hey, Billie, why were you such a chicken? Don’t want to alienate your abortion-loving base? You know Seller has no moral base so his mom-responsiveness was expected.

    I wish the Dems no success in November.

    1. Do you know past ratings Sutton has received from SD Right to Life? Don’t go looking around for the facts, they may surprise you?

  4. not responding on this issue, never hurt anyone with voters, by all available evidence. the simple majority of voters have consistently said no to an overt state ban on the abortion procedure at the polls. the battle line is still in each human heart.

  5. Interesting Bjorkman answered it, but the other 2 did not….must have been busy at Planned parenthood fundraisers…

  6. I suspect a RTL endorsement is more important in a Republican primary. I’m not sure how much it means in a general as the organization is heavily skewed Republican anyway. I would be interested in seeing any quantification of the effects of this type of endorsement. Any out there?
