Trump re-ups his endorsement for state abortion bans, Rogers, Meijer, Pensler, and Amash support dangerous abortion bans

LANSING — Donald Trump re-upped his dangerous support for state abortion bans today. Mike Rogers, Peter Meijer, Sandy Pensler, and Justin Amash all support dangerous abortion bans that would rip away Michiganders’ freedom to make their own personal medical decisions. 

Here’s where the GOP Senate candidates stand on banning abortion:

- Mike Rogers lobbied for “a nationwide abortion ban,” co-sponsored and voted for anti-abortion bills that would have criminalized and banned abortion, and supported the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade. 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 anti-IVF votes. If Rogers had “lived in Michigan instead of Florida” in 2022, he would have voted against Proposal 3.

- Peter Meijer supports a national abortion ban and opposes exceptions for rape and incest. In Congress, Meijer voted against the Women’s Health Protection Act. He called the Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade “tremendous.” Meijer co-sponsored an anti-IVF bill, and he refuses to answer if he’d sponsor the Life at Conception Act again in the Senate.

- 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.”
