Senate Dems Launch Website Attacking GOP on Abortion

By    |   Friday, 19 January 2024 11:07 AM EST

The campaign wing for the Senate Democrats on Friday launched a website targeting Republicans in battleground states over past remarks on abortion before Monday's one-year anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

GOPonAbortion.com, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee's website, dredges up past comments made by Senate candidates in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin.

Sens. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who are up for reelection this year, are among those featured on the DSCC website, as well as several Republicans who have either announced they're running or are expected to run.

"On record and on video, Republican Senate candidates have made it clear they stand in lockstep with their party's agenda to ban abortion nationwide and without exceptions," DSCC spokesperson Katarina Flicker said in a statement to The Hill.

"This website will help voters learn how Republican Senate candidates oppose women's right to make our own healthcare decisions — and why their agenda opposing women's freedom to make these deeply personal choices for themselves will lead their campaigns to defeat in 2024."

Other Senate candidates targeted by the website include Kari Lake in Arizona; former Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich.; former Rep. Peter Meijer, R-Mich. and James Craig in Michigan; Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont. and Tim Sheehy in Montana; Sam Brown in Nevada; Bernie Moreno; Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, and state Sen. Matt Dolan in Ohio; Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania; and Eric Hovde in Wisconsin.

The website also features audio and video snippets of some of the candidates' remarks.

Video of Lake previously describing abortion as "murder" during a 2021 conversation is highlighted, as well as when she said in 2022 that abortion "is not healthcare. It is the killing, it is the sacrifice, it is the execution of a baby."

Lake told The Hill in November that she supports "all 50 states" drafting "their own laws on abortion," and her campaign website states she is not in favor of a federal abortion ban.

"I want to make sure that women, when they find themselves pregnant, aren't afraid and think that's the only choice they have," she said. "Regardless of how many weeks is the law, regardless of all of that, I want to make sure that women have — know there are choices out there."

With control of the Senate hanging in the balance, the Arizona race is expected to be one of the deciding contests as to which party claims the majority.

Lake is expected to square off against Democrat Rep. Ruben Gallego in November, though she could also face independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who has not yet declared her reelection bid.

As they defend a number of seats that have flipped red in recent presidential elections and face a difficult Senate map, Democrats are hoping to leverage the issue of abortion to retain their one-seat majority in the upper chamber.
