Congrats Gov. Elect Landry!

LARTL Endorses Liz Murrill for Attorney General

Hi Benjamin,

Congratulations to our friend and pro-life champion Jeff Landry on his election! On Saturday, Jeff Landry won the Gubernatorial election outright, garnering 51.6% of the vote, avoiding a runoff with abortion proponent Shawn Wilson.  

Landry took a leading role in defending our pro-life laws, ensuring that all three abortion facilities closed after the reversal of Roe v. Wade. He has been an ally to the pro-life movement for many years. We are excited for the future for life under Governor Landry!

Louisiana Right to Life Federation (LARTL) is also thrilled to announce our endorsement of Liz Murrill for Attorney General. As Solicitor General, Liz has passionately defended Louisiana pro-life laws in both state and federal court, including before the U.S. Supreme Court. In fact, due to Liz's work of going above and beyond for life, LARTL presented Liz with the 2022 Leadership for Life Award. 

Her opponent, Lindsey Cheek, is an extreme pro-abortion candidate and supports abortion on demand. It is incredibly important we get out the pro-life vote again on November 18th!

In addition to the success for the pro-life movement in statewide elections, the Louisiana Legislature became more pro-life than it was before the primary election. A number of newly-elected candidates in both the House and Senate are more pro-life than previous members.

Upgrades in the House of Representatives

• In Gretna, Vincent Cox, endorsed by LARTL, replaced resigning pro-choice independent Rep. Joseph Marino, who had a 44% Pro-Life Record.
• In Mandeville District 89, there is a run-off between Josh Allison and Kim Carver (a long-time adoption advocate), who have both been endorsed by LARTL and are expected to be 100% legislators. One of them will replace Rep. Richard Nelson, who had a 93% Pro-Life Record.

Upgrades in the Senate:

• In St. Charles Parish in District 19, Rep. Gregory Miller, a 100% pro-life representative endorsed by LARTL, replaced term-limited Senator Gary Smith, who had a 94% Pro-Life Record.
• In District 22, Blake Miguez, a strongly pro-life representative with a 100% pro-life record, won election and is replacing the term-limited Senator Fred Mills, who had a 97% Pro-Life Record.

Rick Edmonds of Senate District 7 and Alan Seabaugh of District 31 also won election, adding strong pro-life voices to the Senate.

Key Run-Offs to Watch

• In House District 18, which includes New Roads, Rep. Jeremy Lacombe has an 80% pro-life voting record. He is up against Tammi Fabre, a candidate endorsed by LARTL and who is expected to vote 100% pro-life.

• In House District 75 in Bogalusa, John Wyble, endorsed by LARTL, is running against Kelvin May. If Wyble wins, he is expected to vote 100% pro-life. He would replace outgoing Rep. Malinda White, who had a 97% pro-life voting record.

• In House District 90 in Slidell & Pearl River, Rep. Mary DuBuisson has an 77% pro-life voting record. She is up against Brian Glorioso, a candidate endorsed by LARTL and who is expected to vote 100% pro-life. Rep. DuBuisson was the only Republican legislator to vote against the main pro-life law in 2022.

Our voter guide will be updated soon for the November 18th election!

New Orleans and Louisiana Right to Life are hosting a Night for Life at St. Francis Xavier Church in Metairie on Monday, October 30th. This inspirational pro-life evening will include compelling testimony, pro-life education, and how you can help moms in our community.

We are excited to announce that the Keynote Speakers will be three Sisters of Life: Sr. Catherine Joy Marie, SV, Sr. Maria Annunciata, SV, Sr. Lucia Marie, SV.

Unfortunately, last week, an event hosted by the Catholic Charities with the Sisters of Life was canceled unexpectedly by their host, Second Line Brewing.

The brewery alleged that they did not know it was a pro-life event and received pressure from pro-abortion people.

It is disappointing that Second Line Brewing canceled Catholic Charities, who does so much to help moms and families. Louisiana Right to Life has added Second Line Brewery to our list of boycotted businesses because of their love for abortion. Louisiana is astoundingly pro-life and this type of discrimination is unacceptable!

DO NOT BUY SECOND LINE BEER! Email them or use the button below to quickly and easily share your disappointment!

Unfortunately, more than 50 businesses in New Orleans support abortion and have gone out of their way to make that known. Our response is to ask you to boycott these facilities!
