LANSING — Today’s Senate vote on the bill to codify Roe v. Wade is a stark reminder that Mike Rogers, Sandy Pensler, and Justin Amash all celebrated the overturn of Roe v. Wade and have extensive anti-abortion records.
All of the Michigan GOP Senate candidates want to rip women’s rights to make their own personal medical decisions by banning abortion.
Rogers, Pensler, and Amash all celebrated the overturn of Roe v. Wade:
- Mike Rogers celebrated the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, “consistently voted” for abortion bans, 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. If Rogers had “lived in Michigan instead of Florida” in 2022, he would have voted against Proposal 3.
- Sandy Pensler described Roe v. Wade “terrible” and “tyrannical.” Pensler said that he has “the same position on being pro-life as President Reagan and President Trump.”
- Justin Amash supported the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, supports an abortion ban, and co-sponsored a bill to restrict IVF. He believes that “life begins at conception” and describes himself as “100% pro-life.”
