LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Two national pro-life groups just unveiled an $80 million plan to energize voters ahead of the 2026 midterms and Michigan is one of their top battlegrounds.
According to a recent press release, the strategy for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America (SBA) and Women Speak Out PAC (WSO) is straightforward: identify the millions of pro- life Americans who didn’t show up in 2024, contact them, knock on their doors – and make sure they don’t sit out 2026.

The plan is to reach 10.5 million voters across the country and will include “canvassing, digital advertising, voter contact mail and a robust early vote campaign as races progress.” It’s a national operation, but Michigan – fresh off two competitive election cycles – is poised to be one of the movement’s busiest hubs.
Michigan becomes a priority.
While Democrats in Michigan have enjoyed a series of wins, including the passage of Proposal 3 in 2022, pro-life organizations insist the state is still competitive – if their voters actually show up. That’s where this new campaign steps in. Expect more door- knocking in suburban Detroit, heavier canvassing in Kent and Ottawa counties, and a fresh surge of activity across northern Michigan as the two groups work to “get out the vote” and try to tip key legislative races – including a Senate seat that the Cook Political Report now calls a “toss-up.”
4.5 million visits to voters at their homes over several battleground states, including Michigan, are planned. SBA President Marjorie Dannenfelser said in her statement, “Our mission is to fire up pro-life Americans who do not consistently vote in midterms and convince persuadable voters to reject the Democrats’ extreme all-trimester abortion agenda.”
If the groups hit their targets, Michigan could see one of the largest coordinated pro-life turnout operations in its history and they could achieve a victory in retaining pro-life majorities. Whether they reshape the map in 2026 will come down to a simple test: Can pro-life voters out-hustle a Democratic machine that’s dominated the last two election cycles?
