Kansas Spells Trouble for Vulnerable Yvette Herrell

With a dangerous, out-of-touch record on abortion, Herrell is in for a rude awakening 

Last night, Kansans turned out in record droves to protect a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions, sending a clear message to Republicans working to institute abortion bans.

This spells bad news for Yvette Herrell, as the GOP plots to institute a nationwide abortion ban and Herrell is forced to defend her dangerous position.

Here is a comprehensive list of some of Yvette Herrell’s extreme abortion stances:

  • Herrell tweeted Roe v. Wade rested on “garbage legal reasoning” and insisted America would be better off once abortion joined eugenics on the “ash heap of history.”

  • Herrell is an original co-sponsor of the Life at Conception Act, the federal personhood bill that would ban all abortions – even in the instance or rape or when the life of an individual is at risk – and certain types of birth control such as IUDs.

  • Herrell signed an amicus brief asking the Supreme Court to overturn Roe and Casey.

  • Herrell praised the Texas abortion ban:

DCCC spokesperson Maddy Mundy:
“Yvette Herrell can no longer dodge or deflect by claiming voters aren’t motivated by Republicans’ plans to restrict abortion. Herrell will have to reckon with her own dangerous positions when voters reject her this November.”
