The National Right to Life and South Carolina Citizens for Life Federal PAC endorsed Darline Graham on Wednesday, the sister of the late U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who is serving out the end of her brother’s term and running to keep his seat in November.
The federal PAC made the announcement on social media and wrote: “Darline Graham will provide South Carolina with a strong pro-life voice and stand firmly in defense of unborn children, their mothers, and every vulnerable human life.”
Several pro-life advocates are balking at the endorsement, including SC Citizens for Life board member Randy Page, who replied, “This endorsement is ill advised and inexcusable. Effective immediately, I am resigning as a member of the board of @LIFEforSC.”
Page added: “Darline Graham donated to and voted for a pro-abortion state senator that killed a major pro-life bill on the Senate floor. That’s a problem.”

Page was asked on social media to elaborate on his decision. He reiterated, “She voted for and gave money to a pro-abortion senator who killed major pro-life legislation on the Senate floor,” adding, “The SD 23 election of 2024 was about abortion. Period. Full stop.”
[NOTE: According to conservative political pundit Tara Servatius: “Darline Graham’s only political donation, $100, was to Sen. Katrina Shealy, the leader of the pro-choice “Sister Senator” Caucus in the SC state senate. Graham’s donation came AFTER Shealy filibustered the prolife heartbeat bill and stopped it.”]
Page added of Ms. Graham, “If you say you’re pro-life, you’re pro-life. You don’t vote for and donate to a pro-abortion friend who just killed a major piece of pro-life legislation on the Senate floor. That State Senate race was all about abortion. Period. Full stop.”
Do some research and rescind this endorsement. https://t.co/uNzKGfVahy

Page added, “I’ve been on the board for a long time. I’ve worked from within. This endorsement was beyond the pale. It’s as simple as that.”
Former state Rep. Adam Morgan (R-SC), whom Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) said he would pick as his Lt. Gov. if he won the 2026 gubernatorial election, also responded and wrote to NRLC, “Do some research and rescind this endorsement.”
[NOTE: Norman lost the GOP gubernatorial primary and is now running against Graham for the Senate seat.]
Conservative advocate Erik Telford also backed Page’s concerns by sharing video of Darline Graham (below) being asked if she’d support a conception‑ban on abortion. Graham replied, “I don’t know. Let me think about it.” Telford wrote: “Pro-life endorsement, followed by candidate not being sure if they’re pro-life?”
