McCormick Pledged To Be A Stalwart Opponent Of Abortion. According to PennLive, “McCormick - like most of his primary opponents - has curated a policy platform that’s very close to what he believes national policy would be had former President Donald J. Trump been re-elected. He would, he said, drive for U.S. energy dominance, espousing policies that would, at least for the near-term future, emphasize fossil fuel production over climate change transition; make permanent the Trump tax cuts; work to change entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare - not for people who have already paid in - but for the generations to come. He also pledged to be a strong defender of the right to bear arms; and be a stalwart opponent of abortion.” [PennLive, 3/11/22]
McCormick Stated That Life Beings At Conception. According to PoliticsPA, “He quickly hit upon some of his stances, including how life begins at conception, China as an existential threat and continuing the trade policies of former President Donald Trump.” [PoliticsPA, 3/1/22]
McCormick Said “Life Begins At Conception And Ends With Natural Death.” According to the Sharon Herald, “In an hour-long campaign stop, McCormick spoke and took questions from the audience, while vowing to hew to conservative principles on small government, abortion – ‘life begins at conception and ends with natural death,’ he said – Second Amendment rights and pro-growth business policies. He also stressed the importance of border security, supporting natural gas drilling and rebuilding the U.S. industrial base.” [Sharon Herald, 3/14/22]
[AUDIO] McCormick Expressed Support For Overturning Roe v. Wade. Question: “My question is, what are your specific plans to fight the pro-abortion lobby in Washington? McCormick: “Well, listen, we're at a particular moment, as you know, where Roe v. Wade is under great consideration. And if Roe v.Wade is revoked and this decision will go back to the states, and I have a lot of confidence that our PA legislature will push us much further down the path of making abortions much more likely and supporting life.” [Edinboro Meet & Greet, 3/5/22]
