SPECIAL CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS UPDATE.(who votes how on abortion)(Brief Article)
Because of retirements, appointments, and deaths, several congressional seats have opened up and special elections are being held to fill the vacancies.
Earlier this year, special elections were held to replace pro-abortion Congressman Julian Dixon (D-Ca.), who had passed away, and pro-life Congressman Bud Shuster (R-Pa.), who had resigned. The election of Diane Watson (D) kept Dixon's seat in pro-abortion hands while Shuster's seat remained pro-life with the victory of his son, Bill Shuster (R).
Pro-lifers won a major victory in June when Randy Forbes defeated a pro-abortion opponent to win the special election in Virginia's 4th District. Forbes replaced the late pro-abortion Rep. Norman Sisisky (D).
Four seats are currently open, with elections underway.
In Florida's 1st District, pro-life Rep. Joe Scarborough resigned. The July primaries were won by pro-life state Rep. Jeff Miller (R) and Steve Briese (D). Because of the strong Republican leaning of the district, Miller is widely expected to win the October 16 general election.
In Massachusetts's 9th District, Rep. Joe Moakley (D), who had compiled a mostly pro-life voting record, died in May. His seat, which includes much of Boston, is likely to be held by Democrats.
The winner of the Democratic primary, held on September 11, was pro-life state Senator Stephen Lynch.
