PA-17: Jeremy Shaffer Wants to Make Abortion Illegal Everywhere

Shaffer expresses thanks to God in interview with church blog that Roe was overturned and wants to make abortion illegal everywhere

In an interview with a biblical counselor writing for the Reform & Confessional blog, Republican PA-17 nominee Jeremy Shaffer conveyed he was thankful for the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade and wanted to make abortion illegal everywhere.

Full excerpt of Jeremy Shaffer going full Mastriano:

I asked [Shaffer] what he thought about the reversal of Roe v. Wade, and, as I expected, he was thankful for it! He went on to tell me that he believes the federal government does not have the authority or right to go beyond what is written in the constitution and that SCOTUS was correct in its decision to reverse, and send it back to the states. He did, however, relay his conviction – which I share – that while we ought to thank God for this decision, it is not enough. The states having the right to dictate whether abortion is legal or not, is still not enough. God will be satisfied and glorified when it is legal nowhere to kill innocent life.

DCCC spokesperson James Singer
“Jeremy Shaffer makes it clear that not only does he want to ban abortion in Pennsylvania, but he wants to make abortion illegal everywhere.”
