• During a recent interaction with reporters, Bernie Moreno, the GOP nominee for Ohio’s Senate seat, maintained that he would back a national abortion ban — a position not even the party’s lead, Donald Trump, holds.

• “You said earlier this week that you support some restrictions on abortion after 15 weeks. Do you think that that contradicts what the party’s new platform, new position on this overall?” a journalist asked Moreno on Thursday.

• “…My position is crystal clear, has not changed on abortion,” Moreno replied.

• In the past, the candidate has said that he is “100% pro-life with no exceptions.”

Columbus, OH – It’s been another bad week for Bernie Moreno as new reporting caught Moreno doubling down on his “crystal clear” support for a national abortion ban and once again lying to Ohioans, this time falsely claiming he “learned English from watching Ronald Reagan’s speeches” despite that “the timeline doesn’t make sense.”

NEED-TO-KNOW THIS WEEK:

• Moreno’s list of “dubious claims” grew as he was caught lying again, this time claiming he learned English from Reagan.

• Bernie Moreno said again that “he still believes in national legislation” to ban abortion, which would overturn the will of Ohioans who voted overwhelmingly last year to protect abortion access. The next day, Moreno said his “position is crystal, crystal clear, has not changed on abortion.”

• On Collector Car Appreciation Day, a reminder that Bernie Moreno never reimbursed the North Olmsted Police Department for a joyride in his $3.4 million Aston Martin.

🚫 “CRYSTAL, CRYSTAL CLEAR” SUPPORT FOR A NATIONAL ABORTION BAN: While Ohioans continue to slam Moreno for his “disrespectful” support for a national abortion ban, Moreno says his position is  “crystal, crystal clear” and doubled down in support of a national abortion ban that would overturn the will of Ohioans who voted to protect abortion rights last year. Watch here to see Moreno say his support for a national abortion ban “has not changed” – confirming once again he is “100% pro-life with no exceptions” and that he is “absolute pro-life, no exceptions.”

Earlier this week, Moreno said “he still believes in national legislation,” the latest in Moreno’s “well-documented” and repeated support for a national abortion ban that has led Ohio doctors to speak out against Moreno for “car[ing] more about his politics than [Ohioans’] safety.”

Read More About Moreno’s “Crystal, Crystal Clear” And “Well-Documented” Support For A National Abortion Ban:

• Issue 1 Leader Kellie Copeland: “Bernie Moreno has promised to support [a new federal abortion ban].”

• Dr. Nicole King: “He is selfish and ignorant enough to support a national abortion ban that would overturn access to abortion – access that Ohioans overwhelmingly support… Moreno’s support for restrictive bans would subject Ohio women and women across the country to a reality devoid of access to safe reproductive care.”

• Cecile Richards, former president of Planned Parenthood: “Every mainstream Republican candidate running for a seat in the United States Senate would be a vote for a national abortion ban.”

• The Washington Post: “[SBA Pro-Life America] pledged last year that SBA would not endorse any candidate who refused to embrace a national 15-week limit on abortion… [SBA] has endorsed only two Senate candidates in battleground states, Bernie Moreno in Ohio and Tim Sheehy in Montana.”

• Axios Columbus: “A spokesperson said Moreno’s “stance is well-documented” and linked to Moreno’s earlier support for the national abortion ban.”

• NBC: “Businessman Bernie Moreno favors a federal ban… Moreno was also visible in the fight and donated money to the campaign to defeat the ballot measure, known as Issue 1.”

• Cleveland.com: “[Moreno] expressed interest in passing national abortion legislation… Moreno, as he has throughout his current Senate campaign, called for federal legislation banning abortion’”

• Dayton Daily News: “All three candidates [Moreno] support a federal abortion ban.”
