Important Senate Runoff In Georgia Approaches

To some it may seem as if the 2008 election cycle was so long it began
last century. But in places like Minnesota, Alaska, and Georgia, the
race isn't over yet. There are three important Senate contests still
being contested.

Pro-life Republican incumbent Norm Coleman is in the midst of a recount
with pro-abortion comedian Al Franken (D) in Minnesota. And although
incumbent Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) narrowly lost to pro-abortion Dem
challenger Mark Begich after 24,000 absentee and other ballots were
tallied yesterday, a recount is possible. 

But those contests are recounts and/or tabulation of late-arriving
ballots. There is an actual run-off December 2 in Georgia between
pro-life incumbent Saxby Chambliss (R) and pro-abortion Jim Martin (D),
a former state representative. 

Under Georgia law, if no candidate secures 50% of the vote, a run-off is
required between the two top vote getters.

The contest could not be more stark nor the stakes much higher. The
number of pro-abortion Senate Democrats has already increased by five
(six, if Begich's victory holds up).

Saxby Chambliss voted to ban partial-birth abortions and opposes taking
your tax dollars to pay for abortion. Chambliss has compiled a 100%
pro-life voting record, as scored by National Right to Life.

Jim Martin voted against banning partial-birth abortions as a Georgia
state Representative. He refused to answer NRL's question asking for his
position on using tax dollars to pay for abortions.  

Martin's strong pro-abortion advocacy is nothing new. In an article
published on March 26, 1997, the Florida Times-Union (Georgia Edition)
referred to then-Rep. Martin as "one of the legislature's most outspoken
abortion-rights advocates."

Be sure to take a look at the comparison piece

web page--www.nrlc.org. And stay tuned. We will update you as we come
closer to the December 2 runoff.
