Exposed: George Logan Opposes Roe, Dubiously Claims Abortion Can’t Be Regulated at Federal Level in Post-Debate Interview

Logan reaffirms he doesn’t support abortion rights, won’t vote to protect women

Sometimes it’s not the debate, but the post-debate interview that gets you.

Last night, George Logan had a calamitous post-debate interview with the CT Mirror that made clear: George Logan is no moderate, he’s just pretending to be one. 

WATCH [7:19]: Logan refused to say he supports abortion rights under Roe – he even claimed he hadn’t “seen the details” about the Roe standard – which was the law of this land for nearly 50 years. 

But after the debate, Logan hedged when asked about codifying Roe, the landmark that prohibited states from outlaw abortions before fetal viability for nearly 50 years.

“The U.S. Supreme Court has made their decision to bring that issue to the states. And I support that decision. And that’s my stance on that,” Logan said.

So, that means he would oppose codification?

“I haven’t seen the details,” he replied.

When reminded that the Roe standard was not complicated, Logan said he doubted a federal abortion law would be constitutional.

“If someone tells me that’s not the case, we can have another discussion. But that’s my take on it right now,” Logan replied.

WATCH [6:10]:  Logan claimed a federal legislation to protect the right to an abortion was unconstitutional. This is not true.

Logan said he did not believe that a federal right to abortion supported by Hayes and President Joe Biden would pass constitutional muster, articulating a difference on abortion after longstanding efforts to neutralize it as a wedge issue.

“I’m going to abide by the ruling from the Supreme Court. I don’t believe Congress, constitutionally speaking, has the ability to do that,” Logan told reporters after the debate, when pressed repeatedly for his position.

DCCC spokesperson James Singer:
“George Logan is no moderate. After minimal scrutiny of his positions, the deception ends. Logan is a fraud who would empower MAGA Republicans in Washington to ban abortion, cut Social Security, and do the bidding of Donald Trump.”
