One less pro-abort in Congress :)Senator Evan Bayh, an abortion advocate from Indiana, will announced today that he will retire from the Senate. His departure is seen by political observers as making it much easier for one of the pro-life Republicans seeking his seat to win it and, ultimately, potentially shifting more Senate seats to pro-lifers.
The decision by the senator who was once viewed as a potential running mate for Barack Obama continues to put the Senate in play in the 2010 elections.
Bayh will announce the decision at a press conference later today and is expected to say, “After all these years, my passion for service to my fellow citizens is undiminished, but my desire to do so by serving in Congress has waned," according to a Washington Post report.
Republicans had recruited former Sen. Dan Coats, a pro-life leader when he served in the Senate, to challenge Bayh along with pro-life former Rep. John Hostettler. Both were seen as trailing Bayh in polls but would now have the edge in any race against potential Democrats who would vie for Bayh's seat.
