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.
