LOUISVILLE, Kentucky — Team Mitch today began airing a 60-second radio ad highlighting Amy McGrath’s radical pro-abortion views. “Own Words” reveals how McGrath doubles-down on her pro-abortion stance, including during a 2018 interview in which McGrath admits how she believes the government should not place any limits on abortion.
“Amy McGrath is trying to hide from her 100 percent pro-abortion views on TV, but her own words reveal just how radical her support for abortion is,” said McConnell Senate Committee press secretary Kate Cooksey. “After months of attempting to deceive Kentuckians about her far-left views, Amy cannot deny her support for abortion on demand. Amy’s support for abortion goes so far that she even says people should not stand up for an unborn child who does not yet have a voice. Extreme Amy McGrath is 100 percent pro-abortion and 100 percent too liberal for Kentucky.”
