HuffPost: “[McCormick] Does Not Support Exceptions in Abortion Laws For Rape or Incest”
PENNSYLVANIA — On the second anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade being leaked, here’s a reminder that elected leaders and doctors have called out David McCormick’s support for an abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest.

“Women in Pennsylvania deserve the right to be able to make decisions about their own bodies,” said state Senator Amanda Cappelletti. “David McCormick has proudly touted himself as an opponent of abortion and that is a non-starter for Pennsylvanians.”
“David McCormick’s record of supporting an abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest and praising the leaked Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade as a ‘huge victory’ is appalling,” said state Representative Jennifer O’Mara. “We need to support leaders that will be champions for our rights.”
“Healthcare decisions, including those concerning whether or not to have a child, should be left to a patient and their trusted physicians,” said Dr. Jessica Klemens, DO. “Pennsylvanians deserve leaders who trust women to make the right decisions for themselves.”

McCormick deleted a 2022 campaign interview where he praised the Dobbs decision leak before announcing his 2023 campaign.
