As
president of HERO’s Whole Life America, I warned Democrats for Life of
America that its deceptive “Whole Life Heroes” PAC was the kiss of
death. While the DFLA attempted to use our name and confuse voters by
urging the re-election of Rep. Bart Stupak’s (D-MI) Obamacare
collaborators – instead it united pro-lifers and whole-lifers.

During
campaign 2010, DFLA’s executive director Kristen Day accused pro-lifers
of lying about the threats to life in Obamacare. Now, two weeks after
widespread Democrat defeats and pro-life elections, Ms. Day remains
silent.

The
majority of Americans didn’t buy DFLA’s misnamed Whole Life Heroes PAC
pushing the Marxist party line. And with her support of Obamacare,
Kristen Day, a proclaimed Catholic, betrayed the faith. After all,
Obamacare imposes collectivism, it funds the abortion industry, it
establishes government death panels, and it will severely fine the poor –
the very persons who can’t afford insurance.

In other words, the DFLA failed miserably and here’s how it went down.

Surgeon Dan Benishek (R-MI), defender of the
human right to life from conception to natural death and proponent of
repealing Obamacare, will replace the DFLA’s lead ‘Hero,’ Rep. Bart
Stupak.

In Illinois, results were mixed. DFLA’s Rep. Dan
Costello was re-elected. Yet while Congressman Dan Lipinski was rejected
by the DFLA, he didn’t need its PAC. This lone pro-life Democrat – the
unique Dem to vote against Obamacare – won re-election.

Likewise
in Indiana, some Hoosiers re-elected DFLA crony Rep. Joe Donnelly, but
others replaced the DFLA’s Rep. Baron Hill with pro-life and
pro-adoption attorney Todd Young (R).

Minnesotans had enough of
DFLA’s 18-term career politician, Rep. James Oberstar. Navy veteran and
pro-lifer Chip Cravaack (R) will be their new voice in Washington.

In
North Dakota, DFLA also lost. Voters served Congressman Earl Pomeroy
with an eviction notice and they’re sending pro-life State Rep. Rick
Berg (R) to the U.S.House.

In
Ohio, voters re-elected just one DFLA favorite, Rep. Marcy Kaptur, but
ousted three others. Rep. John Boccieri will be replaced by John Renacci
(R), who said, “I am 100 percent pro-life and in Congress I will vote
that way.” Rep. Steve Driehaus ignored his constituents and tried to
squelch the truth about his Obamacare vote by filing criminal charges
against the Susan B. Anthony List. As the DFLA official, Day joined the
Driehaus assault by filing affidavits. However, the ACLU of Ohio filed a
friend-of-the-court brief defending the SBA List, and Driehaus lost to
former Congressman Steve Chabot (R), who wants to repeal the “power
grab.” Finally, Rep. Charlie Wilson was defeated by pro-lifer Bill
Johnson (R).

In Pennsylvania, voters fired three more DFLA
Heroes: Reps. Chris Carney, Kathy Dahlkemper and Paul Kanjorski. These
losers will be replaced with former U.S. Attorney Tom Marino (R), Mike
Kelly (R), and Hazelton Mayor Lou Barletta (R), respectively – all
pro-lifers and all committed to true healthcare reform.

Virginians
booted a DFLA favorite as well. Rep. Tom Perriello must leave Capitol
Hill and State Senator Robert Hurt (R) is moving to Congress to protect
life and kill Obamacare.

The
voice of the late Rev. Richard John Neuhaus resounds to this day. As
the story goes, when Neuhaus was a young, liberal Lutheran pastor, he
said, “The greatest tragedy in contemporary American politics is that
the pro-life flag is planted in the Republican side of the debate.”

Now
we know that most voters were terrified and outraged by Obamacare. Now
we know that tea party activists turned elections toward human and
constitutional rights. If we are going to protect innocent lives, we
must fight aggressively to plant the whole-life flag in the Republican,
Democrat and tea parties. It will take all parties and all independents
working together to reestablish defense ofthe human person from the embryo to the elderly.

No
matter which way we look at it, the Democrats for Life PAC was a kiss
of death. Will DFLA continue the tragedy? Or will the organization join
us in the great campaign for human dignity?
