Moreno Faces Scrutiny As He Doubles Down On “Crystal, Crystal Clear” Support Of National Abortion Ban
July 12, 2024
Columbus, OH – Bernie Moreno is facing scrutiny as he doubles down on his “crystal, crystal clear” support for a national abortion ban, 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:
