The pro-abortion political organization — Emily’s List — will reportedly try to rescue embattled U.S. Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC) in her fading re-election bid.
EMILY’s List super PAC to spend $3 million in North Carolina Senate race. Women Vote! is launching its 2014 Senate push with plans to spend $3 million on a statewide voter mobilization effort in North Carolina that will engage voters through online, mail and TV ads on behalf of Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan, the group said today. Its first ad, backed by six figures on broadcast and cable in the Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham and Greensboro markets, is called “Day in the Life” and hits Republican state House Speaker Thom Tillis over cuts to public education. The news follows Planned Parenthood’s political arm announcement of its own $3 million push in the race.
In what could be a Hail Mary for the Democrat incumbent Senator — Emily’s List is squarely positioning Hagan as a staunch fighter for no-strings abortion-rights.
Kay has repeatedly stood up for women’s health care, voting against GOP efforts to defund Planned Parenthood. She cosponsored the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and supported the Shaheen amendment to provide funding for abortions for military women who are victims of rape or incest.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Though Kay Hagan won in 2008 on the coattails of Barack Obama, hope and change have faded and tying herself to radical abortion politics may not be the ticket back to Washington, DC that she is counting on.
