LANSING — As the Senate voted on a bill to protect access to contraception today, Mike Rogers, Sandy Pensler, and Justin Amash all support dangerous abortion bans that would rip away Michiganders’ freedom to make their own personal medical decisions.
All of the GOP Senate candidates support banning abortion:
- Mike Rogers pushed for “a nationwide abortion ban,” and co-sponsored and voted for anti-abortion bills that would have criminalized and banned abortion. In Congress, Rogers co-sponsored four anti-IVF bills and “repeatedly co-sponsored bills” to suspend FDA approval of mifepristone. Rogers refuses to protect IVF in the Senate and won’t answer for his past fetal personhood legislation votes. Rogers celebrated the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade. If Rogers had “lived in Michigan instead of Florida” in 2022, he would have voted against Proposal 3.
- Sandy Pensler called Roe v. Wade “terrible” and “tyrannical.” He said that he has “the same position on being pro-life as President Reagan and President Trump.”
- Justin Amash supports an abortion ban, is “100% pro-life,” and co-sponsored a bill to restrict IVF. Amash believes that “life begins at conception,” and he supported the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
