WASHINGTON, November 24 /Christian Newswire/ -- Today the president of the Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund commented on the impact of the Georgia senate runoff:

"The outcome of the runoff election for Georgia Senate will significantly impact the fight for Life," said Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund Marjorie Dannenfelser.  "The U.S. Senate desperately needs the pro-life leadership of Senator Saxby Chambliss.  He will defend innocent unborn children and fight for strict constructionist Supreme Court justices who won't legislate from the bench.  A vote for Jim Martin is a vote for taxpayer-funded partial-birth abortion.  As a state legislator, Jim Martin single-handedly refused to bring the Georgia ban on gruesome partial-birth abortion to a vote.  American citizens don't need Jim Martin's abortion extremism in the U.S. Senate."

Senator Saxby Chambliss has a 100% pro-life voting record in the U.S. Senate.  In the Georgia State Legislature, Jim Martin voted against parental notification before abortions are performed on minors. He also vowed to kill a bill that would have banned the brutal practice of partial-birth abortions.  Even when 13 out of 16 colleagues from both sides of the aisle petitioned him to let the partial-birth abortion ban come up for a vote, Martin still refused.

"Team Sarah's thousands of members remain as engaged as ever on TeamSarah.org," said Team Sarah Co-Founder and Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser.  "They have been active in making Get Out the Vote Calls from their homes across the country on behalf of Senator Chambliss."

The Susan B. Anthony List Voter Education and Mobilization Program contacted over 400,000 pro-life voters in Georgia through radio, mail and phone-banking prior to the General Election.  Currently, the Susan B. Anthony List is running educational ads on Christian radio that expose Jim Martin's extreme abortion record.  Team Sarah, a special project of the Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund, is connecting its membership with remote phone-banking facilities to make calls to Georgia voters on Senator Chambliss' behalf.

Since its founding, the nonpartisan Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund has helped elect 79 pro-life candidates to the House, seven to the Senate, and nine to other statewide offices across the country.

The Susan B. Anthony List is a nationwide network of Americans, over 151,000 residing in all 50 states, dedicated to mobilizing, advancing, and representing pro-life women in politics.  Its connected Candidate Fund increases the percentage of pro-life women in the political process.   Team Sarah is a grassroots coalition of diverse women founded to advance Sarah Palin's Vice Presidential candidacy.
