Yes, you read that right. The Republican nominee for lieutenant governor said on November 1st, 2024:
“Everybody who acts horrified by how terrible slavery was — and I concur. Slavery is pretty bad. But is it? What do you think of killing a baby on the day it’s supposed to be born by ripping it apart in the womb? Is that not disturbing to you or it just doesn’t matter or, oh, it’s the mother’s choice.”

His campaign website states: “John believes in the sanctity of life from conception to natural death, and is also one of the leading voices against the growing human euthanasia movement.”
As KFF, an independent source for health policy research, polling, and news, has stated, “Claims of abortions occurring ‘moments before birth’ or even ‘after birth' are
false. These scenarios do not occur, nor are they legal in the United States.
The GOP – and Reid – are trying to use fear to manipulate their supporters. Not only are abortions deeply personal and lawmakers have NO place in the doctors' offices, but the fear-mongering is based on outright lies.
It's crucial that we elect pro-choice lawmakers who respect our rights and understand the complexities of reproductive health. With one month until Election Day, we must act now to ensure our voices are heard and our rights are protected.
We have proudly endorsed Reid’s opponent, Senator Ghazala Hashmi, and more pro-choice lawmakers across the state. Team, time is running out, will you rush $5 to support our work?
