BISMARK, N.D., -- An incumbent state Senator who single-handedly killed personhood legislation in both 2009 and 2011 became the first to be defeated in a national campaign to remove personhood obstructionists from office. Senator Curtis Olafson lost his bid for re-election in Tuesday's Republican primary by 20 percentage points to Senator Joe Miller, the pro-life lawmaker who fought to revive the 2011 personhood bill.
