TODAY: David Valadao Can’t Walk Away from Cruel Anti-Abortion Record

While Valadao refused to answer if he supports forcing a child rape victim to carry a pregnancy to term, his record leaves no doubt

Today, when asked if he believes “child rape victims should be forced to give birth,” extreme Republican David Valadao simply walked away.

Americans are horrified by the news of a ten-year-old child who was forced to travel across state lines to receive an abortion after she was raped. In the child’s home state of Ohio, abortion is banned without exceptions.

David Valadao is endorsed by the state affiliate of the organization that proposed model legislation to make this anti-choice nightmare a reality across all fifty states.

David Valadao has made his extreme stance against abortion clear:

  • Valadao co-sponsored the Life at Conception Act, which would ban all abortions – even in instances of rape or when life of the mother is at risk – and some forms of IUDs, IVF, emergency contraception

  • Valadao co-sponsored a bill that would put doctors in jail for performing abortion.

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

  • Valadao voted to deny military servicewomen access to abortion

Now Valadao is cowering from the cruel reality of the anti-abortion policies he relentlessly pursued as a legislator.

DCCC spokesperson Maddy Mundy:
“David Valadao cannot walk away from horrific reality he has created in his relentless pursuit to end abortion access without exceptions.”
