Anti-Abortion Activists File For KY Election

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Two out-of-state anti-abortion activists have filed as independents to run for Congress in Kentucky so they will have a platform to promote their cause. David Lewis of Batavia, Ohio, filed Tuesday to run in Kentucky's 4th congressional district, and Andrew Beacham of Elkhart, Indiana filed to run in the 2nd congressional district. Neither expects to win, but they want to use their candidacies to oppose abortion in debates, campaign events and TV ads. Lewis and Beacham are supporters of longtime anti-abortion leader Randall Terry, the Operation Rescue founder who used his unsuccessful run in the Democratic presidential primary this year as a platform to attack abortion.
