Axios Columbus: “A Spokesperson Said Moreno’s ‘Stance Is Well-Documented’ And Linked To Moreno’s Earlier Support For The National Abortion Ban.”

Columbus, OH – Bernie Moreno once again reaffirmed his “well-documented” support for a national abortion ban which would overturn the will of Ohioans who voted overwhelmingly to protect reproductive rights. Moreno has repeatedly supported a national abortion ban, said he is “100% pro-life with no exceptions” and “absolute pro-life, no exceptions,” and voted to ban abortion without exceptions for rape or incest in Ohio last year by voting against Issue 1.

• Last August, Ohio voters rejected Issue 1, which anti-abortion rights advocates hoped would make it tougher to pass an abortion rights amendment in the state constitution.

• Then, last November, voters adopted an amendment that guarantees a person’s right to an abortion and other reproductive care up until fetal viability.

• Following Moreno’s victory in the GOP Senate primary last month, Democrats released statements calling a vote for Moreno “a vote for a national abortion ban,” and noting he said he’s donated “hundreds of thousands of dollars” to anti-abortion rights causes.

• Moreno contributed $100,000 last summer to one such group, Protect Women Ohio Fund.

• Meanwhile, [Sherrod] Brown has touted his record of supporting abortion access.

• “I know where my opponents stand, too,” he said of the GOP primary candidates. “All three would overturn the will of Ohioans by voting for a national abortion ban.”

• Axios asked Moreno’s campaign this week to comment on the candidate’s abortion policy.

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