From Kristan Hawkins: A Message to the Pro-Life Generation on Election Day

Kristan Hawkins - 05 Nov 2024

It’s Election Day, and I pray you have voted or have a plan to vote soon.

Today, I’m praying for the outcome of the Presidential Election as I believe the lives of tens of thousands of children are on the line, as well as the future free speech and assembly rights of our pro-life movement are on the line.

I’m praying for state legislative races, that voters will elect legislators who have a PL beside their name (standing for Pro-Life) rather than simply an “R,” who will be ready to get to work in January to pass legislation that stops the number one killer of children in America: Chemical Abortion Pills.

I’m praying for our U.S. Senate & House of Representatives races as our goal to finally tell Planned Parenthood to go fund themselves and end the more than $700 million dollars they get from us to kill babies…all depends on who controls the gavels.

And I’m praying for the outcomes of several late-term abortion ballot referendums in states like FL, AZ, MO, SD, NE, MT, CO, etc.

But I’m going to be real with you for the next few minutes (as I always am)

Some of these elections are going to be very close, and, if the polls are correct, I believe we will lose some of these ballot referendum fights.

We are looking at a true David v. Goliath battle situation.

But this shouldn’t be unexpected.

We warned of this right after the Supreme Court finally ended the tyranny of Roe v. Wade.

As Trent Horn reminded me yesterday in his podcast, there’s an old saying that goes like this…“If you only wound the Devil, there will be hell to pay.”

And that couldn’t be truer.

For we, the pro-life movement, have been outspent every step of the way by hundreds of millions of dollars, especially in the ballot referendum elections.

In states like Arizona and Missouri, the airwaves have been covered with campaign ads telling pro-life voters to vote for the late-term abortion referendum, using fear tactics and deception.

Many of our allies in the Republican Party who always proclaimed to be “pro-life” have stopped speaking about the violence of abortion since the fall of Roe, becoming cowardly & following the advice of their political advisors who have wanted to kick pro-lifers out of the Conservative movement for decades.

And the mainstream media has even joined with the Democrat leaders to spread the lies we’re seeing on TV and on TikTok, promoting stories of women who have tragically died from pregnancy complications and saying pro-life laws were the result (they weren’t) or confusing women hurting from miscarriages by telling them that if they don’t support abortion then they could die in future miscarriages (100% false).

Let me say these facts again:

  • Every single state that prevents abortion allows for emergency delivery, even if that means a baby won’t survive, for mothers facing a life-threatening pregnancy situation.
  • “Emptying” a mother’s uterus once her baby has died (a miscarriage) is NOT the same thing as paying an abortionist to end the life of a child and then emptying the uterus.

So, the bottom line is this: the Devil is pissed, and he’s coming after us, hard.

But that’s okay…for it means we are winning.

It means he knows who is on our side and that through Him, we shall prevail.

Today, get out and vote and tell every pro-lifer you know to do the same.

And tonight, when you hear about some losses we will sustain, keep your chin up, and be proud of all that we have done to speak truth this election cycle.

I mean, just look at all you helped Students for Life Action to accomplish since this spring…. (Thank you for all of your tireless work!)

  • More than 450 Students for Life leaders participated in 30 deployment weekend events, knocking on more than 100,000 doors in the primary & general elections.
  • Students for Life groups hung & distributed over 25,000 flyers and posters on 70 campuses in 13 targeted states, reaching an estimated 1,426,997 students.
  • Our “Abortion on the Ballot” display & fall tour reached 54 campuses and saw a 11% minds-changed rate.
  • Our “Stop Abortion Extremism” billboard truck tour made 21 stops in 9 key states.  
  • Our “Almost Aborted” National Advertising Campaign was seen over 8,125,036 times online, and our billboards in five ballot referendum states were seen by an estimated 2,321,704 people EACH WEEK for 8 weeks.  
  • Our “Vote Pro-Life First” Digital Field Team Campaign ran in 10 states, garnering 4,111,393 impressions, resulting in 41,569 conversations with targeted voters and converting 23,982 voters!!
  • Our “Kamala Harris Loves Infanticide” commercial was seen during prime time on Fox News for three weeks and aired during the only Vice-Presidential Debate, reaching an estimated 250 million viewers.

  • Our last-minute commercial against pro-abortion Oklahoma Supreme Court Justices has already garnered more than 451,000 views online.   
  • In total, SFLAction has been involved in 216 races (through calls, texts, or deployments) in 2024. 156 of those were primary election races, where we saw 86 victories, with the average cost per win only being $1,179! 

So, be proud of what you have done this year, and be proud tonight of the victories we will see and the babies we know we’ve saved as a result.

And tomorrow, wake up resolved to do more than ever in 2025 at every state house and in Washington, D.C. to advance our mission of abolishing abortion.

I’m with you every step of the way,

Kristan
