New Pro-Lifers Added to United States House and Senate.
Pro-lifers cheered the re-election of pro-life President George W. Bush, but also had another reason to rejoice election night: the victories of pro-life candidates running for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. These gains will strengthen the President's hand in dealing with the leadership of the Democratic Party, which is dominated by strong pro-abortion advocates.
U.S. SENATE
Of the nine new members of the Senate, seven are pro-life. The new pro-life senators are Mel Martinez of Florida, Johnny Isakson of Georgia, David Vitter of Louisiana, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, Jim DeMint of South Carolina, and John Thune of South Dakota. All seven are Republican.
Overall, pro-lifers made a net gain of three votes in the Senate.
The closest election in the Senate won by a pro-lifer was a real nail-biter. Mel Martinez defeated pro-abortion Betty Castor (D) in Florida, receiving 49% to Castor's 48%. Out of 7,410,852 votes cast, Martinez won by only 83,582.
Martinez served in President Bush's cabinet as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Martinez stepped down from that position earlier this year to run for the Senate seat being vacated by retiring pro-abortion Senator Bob Graham (D).
By all appearances, Castor certainly was the top candidate for EMILY's List, a pro-abortion group that supports only Democratic women who zealously support abortion, including partial-birth abortion and tax funding of abortion.
