Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., could be in trouble as he approaches his November midterm election. The pro-life advocacy group, Susan B. Anthony List, is spending $785,000 in ads against the Democratic senator for his role in upholding funding to Planned Parenthood. Manchin, who describes himself as “pro-life,” voted against a bill in 2017 that would have permitted states to deny funding to organizations that provide abortion services. With an upcoming Senate vote on federal funding for Planned Parenthood, SBA List wants to pressure Manchin on his commitment to pro-life issues.
