Fox 43: “We can VERIFY this claim is true”
Two years ago, Scott Perry applauded the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, calling it “a monumental victory” — and Perry has spent the time since chipping away at women’s reproductive freedoms at every opportunity.
That’s why Fox 43 has verified that it’s “True” Perry supported a nationwide abortion ban with no exception for rape or incest.
That’s a damning record for anyone seeking to represent Central Pennsylvania.
DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“Over the course of his 30 year political career, Scott Perry has been waging an all out war on women’s reproductive freedom. His support for a total nationwide abortion ban is vastly out-of-touch with this district and it will cost him his re-election.”
Fox 43: Yes, Rep. Scott Perry supported bill to ban abortion as ad claims | Verify
Marshall Keely | September 17, 2024
-
Former television anchor Janelle Stelson has returned to familiar territory in recent weeks.
-
The Democratic nominee for Pennsylvania’s Tenth Congressional District has appeared in a series of ads targeting the record of her opponent, Republican Congressman Scott Perry.
-
“This is H.R. 431, the bill to ban all abortions in Pennsylvania and nationwide,” Stelson said in the ad. “Right on page one is Congressman Scott Perry. Perry would ban abortion with no exceptions even for victims of rape.”
-
So let’s VERIFY using the text of the bill.
-
H. R. 431 was introduced in January of 2023 and Scott Perry is listed as one of the sponsors on the bill.
-
The Life at Conception Act would “implement equal protection under the 14th article of amendment to the Constitution for the right to life of each born and preborn human person.”
-
The act “declares that the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being at all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization, cloning, or other moment at which an individual comes into being.”
-
The short three-page bill would effectively ban abortion nationwide and the text does not include any exceptions other than noting, “nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child.”
-
So, we can VERIFY this claim is true.
