Scheller Has Staffer Lie About Her Abortion Record

It’s on tape folks

Lisa Scheller and her campaign continue to be silent in the wake of Roe decision, attempting to hide her extreme position of charging women and doctors with crimes for abortion with no exceptions for rape and incest.

Yesterday, one of Scheller’s campaign staffers tweeted that calling out Scheller’s public record was a “lie.”

Here are the facts: 

Lehigh Valley Live: At an April debate, Scheller: “agreed human life begins at conception and that they support criminalizing abortion when there is a detectable fetal heartbeat.”

Politico: “Scheller, whose team did not respond to requests for comment, said in a previous GOP debate that she would not support abortions in cases of rape or incest.”

It’s on video

HOST: “Would you vote for a federal heartbeat protect act that would make it a crime for a physician to perform an abortion when there is a detectable fetal heartbeat unless the life of the mother is at stake?”

SCHELLER: “Yes, I’m open to it.”

DCCC Spokesperson James Singer
“Lisa Scheller and her campaign’s desperate attempts to hide her extreme record of supporting throwing women and doctors in jail over abortion – even in the case of rape and incest – has failed. It’s been reported, it’s on tape. They aren’t fooling anyone.”
