“I fully support funding programs that help enable women to have the autonomy to make reproductive decisions. She’s slammed GOP efforts to defund Planned Parenthood and has vowed to “fight tooth and nail” for the health care provider’s services, which include abortions. McBath has sold herself as a defender of women’s health care and often discusses her experiences fighting off breast cancer twice. Others have argued that fetal pain is different from those experienced by infants or adults. Supporters of the bill say it begins at 20 weeks, but some researchers say the threshold comes later in pregnancy. When exactly a fetus starts to experience pain is under some dispute. “Voluntarily terminating the life of an innocent baby, when we know that baby can feel pain, can no longer be acceptable.” ![]() “Today, we understand so much more about a baby's development during pregnancy,” the Roswell Republican said in a speech on the House floor last October. Handel called the legislation “humane” for babies and mothers. In addition to barring most abortions after five months of pregnancy, the bill would impose fines or jail time on providers who carry out such abortions. If you have not seen this movie – put the kids to bed early and laugh a little.The ad focuses on Handel's vote in favor of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, a measure the House passed last fall on a party-line vote that has yet to be considered in the more closely divided Senate. This is a reference to the classic American comedy, Coming to America starring Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall. It may also be a sign that putting up the same repeated losing candidates is a bad strategy. Ossoff can’t take credit for McBath’s win but he was one part of the perfect storm that led to her contribution to the National #BlueWave. Even when a candidate like Ossoff falls short, their contributions to the long game may ultimately bring success if you follow them up with the right candidate. Strong candidates in every election with a good field strategy is the key to success. What this means for Democrats is WATCH THE LONG GAME. McBath’s ability to raise money and mobilize a campaign strategy – with the extra push brought on by Stacey Abrams’ campaign – was a winning combination. The idea one has to start their political career at the local level and work their way up to federal politics maybe as outdated as Louie Anderson’s character who started his career mopping the floors of McDowell’s only to be promoted to washing lettuce after several sad years. McBath’s election indicates you can start in Congress. McBath’s election should excite “Joe the plumbers” all over the Nation who want to be a part of change but are intimidated by the process. I can see the need for both institutional knowledge and fresh perspectives. It seems America wants regular people and not seasoned politicians in these positions. McBath represents the mirror image of what excited some Republican’s about Trump. Unlike Ossoff she was not subject to the claims of being an imported Hollywood hack. She ran on her personal need for healthcare, the death of her son Jordan Davis, and issues common to everyone. McBath’s message was different from Ossoff. However, Ossoff’s ground work set the tone for the district and Lucy McBath stepped into the relay race and took the district over the finish line. Democrats around the Nation hoped that Ossoff’s election would be the beginning of the #BlueWave. ![]() Millions of dollars poured into the district as the massive campaign began. The hotly contested battle was one of the first “test” to the Trump election. ![]() The 6 th District garnered national attention during the special election between Karen Handel and Jon Ossoff. Congratulations to Representative-elect Lucy McBath of Georgia’s 6 th District.
