Prominent anti-abortion group announces $80 million midterm investment [View all]

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America and its affiliated super PAC plan to pour $80 million into electing anti-abortion candidates in 2026 in at least four battleground states, according to plans shared first with POLITICO.

It’s an attempt by the anti-abortion movement to reassert its influence even after a string of post-Roe defeats at the ballot box. It also suggests a desire to elevate social conservatives’ cachet, which has waned within President Donald Trump’s new MAGA-infused, populist GOP. The promised investments comes as Republicans train their focus on the 2026 map, particularly after Democrats’ strong showings last week in New Jersey, California and New York City.

“Republicans simply cannot win without their pro-life base, especially in midterm elections when overall turnout drops,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America.

Despite repeated setbacks on state abortion ballot measures since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, Dannenfelser’s organization remains a powerful and well-funded force in Republican politics.
