Pro-life group pledges $300K against Dahlkemper

The high-profile, anti-abortion political group Susan B. Anthony List is ready to go to bat big time to defeat Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper (D-3).

Politico reports that the group will endorse Dahlkemper’s Republican opponent Mike Kelly and will spend more than $300,000 on the race in the 3rd Congressional District. The relatively cheap media markets in the northwest Pennsylvania district make that investment more than just a drop in the bucket.

As a freshman, pro-life Democrat who helped craft the abortion-related compromises in the recently-enacted health care reform law, Dahlkemper is seen as particularly vulnerable to attacks over health care. Susan B. Anthony List is most well-known for helping pro-life women win elected office.

The race is currently No. 2 on the pa2010.com Congressional Power Rankings.
