Who Will Fund The Pro-Life Fight? - 8/11/26

A left-wing billionaire opens his wallet to support abortion at the ballot. I'm Josh Mercer, editor of The Loop, here to take you behind the headlines. Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg announced he's giving $1.25 million of his own money to help ensure there's a so-called right to an abortion in Missouri. Now, pro-life activists in Missouri hope to restore protection to unborn children with Amendment 3 to their state constitution. Amendment 3 would repeal the pro-abortion provision. Approved by voters just two years ago.

Now, it's instructive to look at that 2024 campaign. Pro-abortion groups raised more than $31.5 million, while pro-life groups could only amass about $5 million. Despite being outspent six to one, pro-life activists nearly won. The pro-abortion measure succeeded with just 52% of the vote. Now, pro-lifers are hoping to win a rematch. Pro-abortion groups have raised more than $6.5 million to stop Pro-Life Amendment 3, and receiving support from... From billionaires like Mike Bloomberg explains why. So, I have to ask, where are the millionaires who recognize that abortion is horrible?

Where are the business leaders and entrepreneurs who are pro-life? Will they respond to what Mike Bloomberg has done?
