| 1996 | Richard Durbin | Democrat | Senator (IL) | As a Congressman he was the speaker at the annual right-to-life rally, "I believe we should end abortion on demand, and at every opportunity, I have translated this belief into votes in the House of Representatives," "I continue to believe the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade should be reversed." [4] | When running as a Senator he changed his position to pro-abortion saying, "And I finally came to the conclusion that we really have to try to honor the Roe vs. Wade thinking, that there are certain times in the life of a woman that she needs to make that decision with her doctor, with her family and with her conscience and that the government shouldn't be intruding." | Votes for Obamacare whereby the government intrudes in everyones health issues. Rated 100% by NARAL in 2003 | |
| 1992 | Richard S. Williamson | Republican | nominee for U.S. Senate for Illinois | signed a pro-life pledge during the campaign | disavowed his pledge once Carol Moseley Braun became his opponent, whom he hoped to defeat by becoming pro-choice | lost in a landslide after his duplicity was exposed; Pro-life Peter Fitzgerald then defeated Moseley Braun the next time | |
