- The outcome of thisyear's National Election

will be remembered for years to come,

possibly for what it saysabout voters and our culture.

CBN News' Mark Martin spokewith Regent University's

Lynne Marie Kohm about why that's so.

- What do you think aboutthe vote among women

and what does it say aboutwomen in our society?

- Well, I think women are not silent

and we care about what'shappening in our culture.

I think there is a whole lot more

than meets the eye going on here.

Yes, there was a hundred new women;

that's extremely exciting.

I'm excited about the bluewave of pro-life voting.

I totally think that Godis calling more women

into politics to protect the lives

of women and children,especially over the Senate

last night there were so many indications

that people care about judges.

And judges choose touphold abortion or life.

Things that matter to families,values, things like that.

- When you said a bluewave among pro-life.

- I didn't mean blue.- Okay.

- I meant like water.- Okay, gotcha.

- Washing, wave, of pro-life advocates.

I don't think we saw that in Virginia,

but I think we might seethat across the country.

A lot of the people that won Senate races

are definitely pro-life people.

And now they know thatone of the hugest things

is putting another Justiceon the Supreme Court

should we have the opportunity,

there could be two others.

The Kavanaugh hearings just made such

a big difference in everybody's minds.

First of all, was he reallybeing targeted because

he was an abuser of woman, well no,

now we have 414 pages ofinvestigatory evidence

by Congress that says there's no evidence

of any of the accusations.

Really what was going on there was a fear

that he might voteagainst abortion rights.

- You think the Nationsgonna be able to unify,

Lynne Marie, and step awayfrom the political divide?

- You know, I would hopeso, because in my mind

the life issue protectswomen and children.

Three states have it ontheir ballots as well.

I think it was WestVirginia, Oregon and Alabama.

They were all trying to determine,

how far do we wanna gowith allowing for choice

and most of those ballots wereall about protecting women

and protecting children.

I think that God's now maybe had a huge

impact with that too.

But really it was the Kavanaugh hearings.

People know judges matter,judges make a difference.

Judges can be thoughtful and protect life.

Protect the lives of women,every single woman and child

needs to be protected regardless

of what the state chooses to have

as it's law with abortion.

- And quickly, let'smove over to the House.

What are your thoughts on that

because of the shift in power,

do you think that's gonna hurt

the pro-life movement somewhat?

- I dunno, we'll have tosee how that plays out.

When we went to vote yesterday,

my husband asked somebody,from a local election,

so is your candidate pro-life or not

and the person says, oh it doesn't matter

it's a local election, and my husband said

it absolutely matters,it goes to world view.

We didn't get the chance to find out

the world view of a lot ofthose House representative

candidates because therewere so many running.

So we'll have to see how this plays out.

And I do think that someare still persuadable

that life is an issue theywanna take a position on

that will protect women and children.

So we'll just have to see.

- Alright, Lynne Marie Kohm with

Regent University, thank you.- Thank you.

- Alright.
