"I am very proud of my pro-life voting record, and I am honored to receive an A+ from the Susan B. Anthony National Pro-Life Scorecard. I remain committed to being a voice for the most vulnerable, including unborn children."

According to the Scorecard listing on the website, the SBA List cited the following regarding Cole's exceptional A rating in defense of life:
