Trust Fund Millionaire Paul Junge Doubling Down On Extremist Anti-Abortion View

Junge: “My personal view is that it’s a life, and I want to celebrate that life, and so I don’t make exceptions…”

California trust fund millionaire Paul Junge showed once again he’s out of touch with Michigan values. He was caught telling the truth on conservative radio that he wants to ban nearly all abortions with no exceptions for rape, incest, or the health of the mother — a position that’s too extreme even for his own party:

Junge [10:04] “My personal view is that it’s a life, and I want to celebrate that life, and so I don’t make exceptions other than the life of the mother.”

Abortion access is top of mind for Michigan voters this November as they vote on a ballot initiative to protect reproductive freedom and congressional races featuring anti-abortion extremists like Paul Junge. Junge said it himself: he doesn’t “make exceptions” when it comes to abortion access. His hardline views are a danger to Michigan women and girls and would take Michigan back nearly a century.

DCCC Spokesperson Matt Corridoni
“Michiganders can’t afford to have politicians like Paul Junge infringing on their individual rights to make their own health care decisions. Junge’s radical agenda would take Michigan back to the dark days of criminalizing abortion for women and doctors. Junge thinks he can parachute into mid-Michigan and impose his extreme views on abortion, but this November, voters will prove him wrong.”
