June 27, 2023
Last week, House Minority Leader Allison Russo and Ohio Democratic Party Chair Elizabeth Walters outlined the stakes of abortion rights for Ohio’s 2024 Senate race.
“Let me make one thing clear — every single candidate running for Ohio’s seat supports an abortion ban, including bans that make no exceptions for rape or incest,” House Minority Leader Allison Russo, D-Upper Arlington, said Friday morning during a press conference. “There’s no doubt in my mind that if elected, any one of these Republican candidates would support a total abortion ban without exceptions in Ohio and across the nation.”
Here’s what you need to know about #OHSEN Republicans and abortion:
- At his campaign launch, Bernie Moreno said he is “unequivocally pro-life.” He does not support exceptions for rape, incest, or life of the mother.
- Frank LaRose celebrated the overturning of Roe v. Wade and has supported an abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest.
- Matt Dolan celebrated the overturning of Roe v. Wade, calling it “exciting.”
