Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America (SBA) reached out to millions of critical voters in key swing states to deny Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and other pro-abortion candidates the vote on Tuesday, November 5.
The group reached more than 10 million voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, fighting lies about pro-life laws and warning against the “extreme” positions of pro-abortion Democrats, According to to the SBA’s 2024 election report, first obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. SBA invested more than $92 million in 2024 election efforts compared to $56 million in 2020.
The SBA works specifically to educate voters about: Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA), which the SBA says would “destroy almost every pro-life law in the country,” and it is maintained by Harris. More than 3,400 pro-life voter volunteers are deployed across the country, and millions of voters can be reached through online advertising campaigns, in-person canvassing, direct mail and telephone campaigns.
“Survey after poll shows that about two-thirds or more of Americans support limiting abortions after the first trimester or 15 weeks, when science shows they can feel pain,” said Kelsey Pritchard, SBA state public affairs director. Daily Caller News Foundation. “If people in these states understand that voting rules go so far that they have no restrictions, that’s very unpopular.”
With the presidential election, voters in Arizona, Michigan, Montana, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin will also have to choose between candidates who have pledged to protect life and those who support unlimited abortion for all nine months, detailed in the report. Many states are also facing initiatives to add abortions amendments to their constitutions.

Arizona voters will have to choose between Democratic Senate candidate Ruben Gallego – who voted for the WHPA, which pro-life advocates have dubbed the Abortion on Demand Up to Birth Act in Congress – and Republican Kari Lake, According to to the SBA. More than 300 canvassers were deployed across the state, and SBA’s efforts reached nearly half a million voters.
According to the group, the SBA’s message is based on advocating for legislation that the average voter supports. Most voters, even those who support abortion, “believe there should be reasonable restrictions on abortion to protect the health and safety of women and their unborn children,” the SBA report said.
Democratic candidate for Michigan State Senate, Elissa Slotkin, has supported federal legislation that would prevent states from creating their own abortion laws and supports allowing minors to have abortions without parental knowledge or consent. According to to the SBA. The SBA campaign reached more than 750,000 voters in the state who support pro-life candidates, such as Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers in Michigan.
Pritchard told DCNF that the SBA is also encouraging Republican Party officials to become more engaged on pro-life issues.
“We really need an opposing voice and people who have a platform to oppose it, and that’s what we encourage,” Pritchard said. “We have seen incredible leadership from Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida, and we have a really good chance of winning Florida because of the way he is exposing the lies. We see that Senator Pete Ricketts in Nebraska has stepped up. In South Dakota, where I live, Gov. Kristi Noem and Rep. Dusty Johnson are all about making sure voters know what they’re voting on and aren’t fooled by the street abortion lobby.”
Several states, including states like Michigan, have seen losses in pro-life efforts fixation adding abortion rights to the state constitution in 2022 has faced many current abortion ballot initiatives legal challengesbut it will ultimately go to the vote on Tuesday.
