[MelissaB]

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Abortion advocates are still upset with Democrat leaders who have coalesced behind two candidates for the U.S. Senate who oppose abortion. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has recruited Pennsylvania state Treasurer Bob Casey and Rhode Island Rep. Jim Langevin to run in Senate races in those states.

Not only have top Democrats recruited candidates who oppose abortion, they've attempted to clear the field and persuade other Democrats from declaring their candidacies.

In Pennsylvania, pro-abortion Governor Ed Rendell successfully talked abortion advocate Barbara Hafer out of challenging Casey in a primary. That's after officials at EMILY's List, a pro-abortion political group, sent two staff members to begin organizing Hafer's campaign

In Pennsylvania, abortion advocates hope Chris Heinz to enter the race. He is the son of Republican Sen. John Heinz and his stepfather is former presidential candidate John Kerry.
