HuffPost: “[McCormick] Does Not Support Exceptions in Abortion Laws for Rape or Incest”

PENNSYLVANIA - On September 27, 2024 in Coraopolis, Western Pennsylvania moms gathered outside of David McCormick’s “Women for McCormick” campaign event to call out the truth about his dangerous anti-choice agenda, including his support for an abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest.

“Pennsylvania women know the real David McCormick said the overturning of Roe v. Wade would make him ‘very, very happy’ and celebrated the decision that ripped away women’s right to make decisions about their own bodies as a ‘huge victory,’” said Brittney Pagone, a registered nurse and leader of grassroots group PA Moms 4 Change. “David McCormick’s support for a dangerous abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest is disqualifying.”
