[VIDEO] McCormick Said Overturning Roe Would Be A “Great Victory” Because It Would Put “Decisions Back In The States And In The Hands Of Voters.” “I saw those reports, and really a tragedy and disgraceful that their safety would be at risk. If this leaked memo becomes the court’s decision, that would be a great victory for the protection of innocent life. I’m a pro-life candidate, and that would put the decisions back in the states and in the hands of the voters, where they belong. But this is, again, an area where Pennsylvanians can see right in front of them the contrast between myself and Mehmet Oz. Mehmet has said he’s not a social conservative, he’s actually accused the pro-life movement of picking fights, and he’s really adopted the language of the left. Here we see in real-time that the left is becoming extreme on this issue, and really creating great discord in our country as the Supreme Court works through what’s really an important landmark decision.” [Fox Business Network: Mornings with Maria Bartiromo, 5/9/22]; 220509_AJA_1354_B
[VIDEO] David McCormick On SCOTUS Decision To Overturn Roe: “This Would Be A Huge Step Forward And A Huge Victory For The Protection Of Life.” Well, first, as you were just saying, what an earth-shattering breach of trust that is just further evidence of an assault on our institution. So it’s a really scary and sad day that we would see this happen in our Supreme Court. And second, if in fact the decision of the court turns out to be what was in this brief, this would be a huge step forward and a huge victory for the protection of life, which is certainly where the conservative and Republican party is in Pennsylvania, and a number of Democrats… I’m someone who’s pro-life, has been pro-life, and this is something where my primary competitor, Mehmet Oz, three years ago to this month had spoken out on a Breakfast Club interview about his concerns about this very scenario. If Roe v. Wade was overturned, that the states would put in more restrictive policies regarding abortion, more pro-life policies. [Fox News Channel: The Ingraham Angle, 5/2/22]; 220502_AJA_1302_A

McCormick: “Mehmet Oz Isn’t Part Of Our Pro-life Movement.” McCormick tweeted, “Mehmet Oz isn’t part of our pro-life movement. He made that crystal clear 3 years ago this month. He’s a Hollywood liberal and a phony trying to fool you. See for yourself:” [Twitter, @DaveMcCormickPA, 5/4/23]
Discussing Abortion, McCormick Claimed That While He Had “Always Been A Pro-life Conservative, Mehmet Oz Has Always Been A Hollywood Liberal.” “McCormick tweeted, “While I have always been a pro-life conservative, Mehmet Oz has always been a Hollywood liberal.
