Biden's abortion script flipped by businesswoman's boost to pro-life groups

EXCLUSIVE: A number of pro-life organizations in one major swing state got a big boost on Mother's Day as one Republican businesswoman aims to flip the script on Democrats' abortion narrative this election year.

Former U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler of Georgia, a staunch proponent of policies protecting the unborn, donated nearly $150,000 to more than two dozen groups across the swing state and nationally, including adoption agencies, foster care agencies, pregnancy resource centers and religious groups. 

Loeffler, rumored to be a prime candidate for either governor or Senate in 2026, told Fox News Digital the donations were about providing and raising the awareness of family resources that run in stark contrast to the pro-choice message of President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

"Each Mother's Day I make donations to a list of organizations that has been growing," Loeffler told Fox. "As a strong pro-life advocate, as a woman of faith, as someone who believes in the sanctity of life, I think this is the best investment we can make in our communities, and it's really in stark contrast to the message that you see today on the left.

"Biden and Harris are out on their — whatever tour they like to call it. Reproductive freedom doesn't seem like the right word, but they're out advocating for abortion across the country as their No. 1 issue and benefit of a Biden presidency. And I think there's a better way forward for our country and for our families."

Democrats have sought to make abortion a central theme in this year's presidential and down-ballot races as polls show the party's chances of hanging onto the White House and Senate appear under threat. 

Many view abortion as an issue that would drive up voter turnout for Democrats, who are struggling with low enthusiasm among likely supporters compared to Republicans.

Loeffler says Democrats are making it an issue, because, if they didn't, they wouldn't have anything else to stand on.

"They are making it an issue because they need it as an issue. They need to mobilize their base. Their voter enthusiasm is extremely low, and they're losing voters across all demographics, no matter how much money they spend," Loeffler said. "They've had to advance more and more radical ideas, including abortion up to the moment of birth, which is really what they want.

"With Bidenomics not working out, people living paycheck to paycheck in this country, consumer debt over $1 trillion, interest rates sky-high and no end in sight, they've shifted to abortion," she added. "They tried threats to democracy. No one knew what that was. That didn't work. And this is their issue." 

Loeffler, although conceding a majority of Americans agreed with abortion being legal up to 15 weeks of pregnancy, argued more awareness about resources for foster children, adoptive parents, pregnancy resource centers and providing more of those resources to organizations, such as faith-based ones, would naturally shift Americans' views on the issue.

"What is needed is an education campaign on what the alternatives are — what's out there — as opposed to the abortion industry just pushing this abortion is the only answer," Loeffler said. "There's so many other ways to go about strengthening our families, our communities, caring for our neighbors. And it doesn't start with abortion. It starts with providing those resources that are needed and available." 

EXPERTS REVEAL MAJOR ‘DOWNSIDE’ TO POTENTIAL TRUMP VP PICK: ‘NO WOW FACTOR’

In the meantime, she said, abortion rights should be determined at the state level, as former President Trump recently suggested.

Loeffler argued people would ultimately show up to the polls and "vote their conscience" despite efforts by Democrats in some states to get abortion measures on ballots to drive turnout. However, she predicted they would find most people aren't just single-issue voters.

"We care about the direction of the economy. We care about the border being closed. We care about crime needing to go down. We care about our kids needing to be able to read by third grade. All these things, and Democrats have been left with making it a single-issue race because they've failed on every single other policy," she said. 

"The more money the Biden-Harris campaign spends on their pro-abortion campaign, the further they fall in the polls. So, it's going to be interesting. It's going to be very dynamic. But I think we can be confident that the things that we are for are the advancement of the human condition and not ending the human condition."

The Mystery of Indira Gandhi's assassination by her own bodyguards

Indira Gandhi, a prominent Indian politician and the daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru, India's inaugural prime minister, was tragically assassinated by her own bodyguards on Oct. 31, 1984. 

Born Nov. 19, 1917, she emerged as a central figure in her country's political landscape, eventually becoming prime minister in her father's footsteps. 

The trust she placed in her favorite Sikh security guard, following Operation Blue Star, ultimately proved to be a fatal mistake. In exploring the narrative of Gandhi's assassination, it is crucial to examine the backgrounds and motivations of her assailants, shedding light on the reasons that led to their fatal decision.

Gandhi served as her country's third and only female prime minister starting in 1966 to 1977, and then served another term from 1980 until she died in 1984.

As a central figure of the Indian National Congress, she was admired for her leadership and criticized for her authoritarian approach. She played a significant role in Indian politics and is often cited as a trailblazer for women throughout the country.

Gandhi was a key player in Indian politics for 17 years, whether in office or out of it. She played an active role in the Independence movement and closely worked with her father, Jawaharlal Nehru, a pivotal figure in the establishment of contemporary India, serving as his assistant when he was prime minister. In 1959, she also held the position of president of the Indian National Congress.

Gandhi rose to power suddenly after Lal Bahadur Shastri died in 1966. At the outset of her leadership, India struggled with significant economic hardships, including high inflation and food shortages. The country's agricultural sector was vulnerable due to its dependence on the monsoon seasons and aid from the U.S. 

She also faced substantial political challenges and dedicated much of her tenure to overcoming these issues, the same issues Nehru attempted to resolve. She fought to direct India toward self-reliance and economic resilience. By 1980, India had become self-reliant and even became a nation of grain surplus, alongside notable industrial progress — achievements attributed to her governance.

Acknowledged milestones during her leadership include the triumph in the 1971 War with Pakistan, the formation of Bangladesh and the cementing of India's status as a potential nuclear power. All of these developments strengthened India's self-esteem.

Her tenure ended with her assassination, leaving behind a legacy of achievements and unresolved tensions. 

Indian society was divided about her; some called her "Mother Indira," and others viewed her as authoritarian. However, it is widely accepted that her leadership shaped India and set the course for its future.

Gandhi's time as prime minister was impaired by increasing tensions with Sikh separatists, culminating in Operation Blue Star. This was the Indian army's response in June 1984 to remove militant Sikh leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his followers, who had hidden themselves within the Golden Temple in Amritsar. The militants' substantial armaments led to a heavy-handed military response, which included the use of artillery.

The conflict ended on June 10 with the army seizing control of the temple. However, the operation, which coincided with a significant Sikh religious event, resulted in numerous civilian deaths who were present at the time. This resulted in widespread condemnation from Sikhs globally. They interpreted it as an attack on their religious community.

The repercussions of Operation Blue Star severely damaged Gandhi's standing with Sikhs, which eventually led to her assassination.

Gandhi's assassination on Oct. 31, 1984, was committed by her bodyguards, notably Beant Singh, who was considered a favorite. The assassination was a consequence of the tensions from Operation Blue Star and led to a planned reassignment of Sikh bodyguards, including Singh. Gandhi canceled the transfer, worried about increasing her anti-Sikh persona. 

On the morning of her assassination, despite being advised to wear a bulletproof vest, Gandhi was not wearing it. 

As she walked through a gate headed to an interview, Singh shot her three times in the abdomen with his .38 revolver. Satwant Singh, another bodyguard, fired 30 rounds from his submachine gun. Following the assault, Beant was located and killed by Border Police, and Satwant was tried and executed in 1989.

Indira Gandhi’s son, Rajiv Gandhi, succeeded her as prime minister of India.
