¶ McGuire Repeatedly Called For Roe V. Wade To Be Overturned
McGuire Attacked Mark Kelly For His Opposition To Overturning Roe V. Wade, Tweeting: “The Sanctity Of Life Is Paramount. If You Want Proof That Mark Kelly Is A Radical, He Thinks Terminating A Human Life Is Planning When To Start A Family.” Michael McGuire tweeted, “The sanctity of life is paramount. If you want proof that Mark Kelly is a radical, he thinks terminating a human life is planning when to start a family. Kelly's not lying when he says he'd do anything to protect abortion, considering he already voted to legalize it until birth” [Twitter, @GeneralMcGuire, 5/3/22]
Michael McGuire Tweeted A Video With The Caption: “Life Begins At Conception. I Hope The Supreme Court Follows Through With Their Decision To Overturn Roe V. Wade And Return The Issue Of Abortion To The States.” Michael McGuire tweeted, “Life begins at conception. I hope the Supreme Court follows through with their decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and return the issue of abortion to the states.” [Twitter, @General McGuire, 6/7/22]
In His Video McGuire Called Abortion A “Death Cult” And A “States Issue” And Said “We All Know Life Begins At Conception. Science Can Prove That. Roe V. Wade Was A Judicial Decision That Was Wrongly Decided. It Is Not The Law Of The Land.” Michael McGuire tweeted, “By having compulsory abortion mandated by the state, I realized this death cult had gone far, far, far too long. We all know life begins at conception. Science can prove that. Roe V. Wade was a judicial decision that was wrongly decided. It is not the law of the land. […] It is clearly a states issue.” [Twitter, @General McGuire, 6/7/22]
¶ McGuire Opposed The Women's Health Protection Act
McGuire Tweeted About Mark Kelly Voting For The Women’s Health Protection Act: “Life Is Our Most Fundamental Right. Mark Kelly & 48 Other Democrats Just Voted Against It. Roe V Wade Is Among Our Nation’s Greatest Injustices But What Kelly Voted For Is Somehow More Radical And Repugnant Than Roe.” Michael McGuire tweeted, “Life is our most fundamental right. Mark Kelly & 48 other Democrats just voted against it. Roe v Wade is among our nation's greatest injustices but what Kelly voted for is somehow more radical and repugnant than Roe. On Nov 8 we won't forget that Mark Kelly doesn't value life.” [Twitter, @GeneralMcGuire, 5/11/22]
¶ McGuire Cheered the Overturn Of Roe V. Wade
McGuire Tweeted That He Was “Overjoyed” With The Supreme Court’s Decision To Overturn Roe, Calling Roe “Wrongly Decided.” Michael McGuire tweeted, “I am overjoyed with this decision for two reasons. First, that the court had the courage to overturn wrongly decided precedent and affirm the right to life. Second, that the court followed through even after a criminal leaker tried to use public pressure to change their opinion.” [Twitter, @GeneralMcGuire, 6/26/22]
McGuire Called The Supreme Court Decision Overturning Roe “A Tremendous Victory” And Declared “It Is Also, By No Means, The End Of Our Fight.” Michael McGuire tweeted, “The holding in today's Dobbs opinion overruling Roe and Casey is a tremendous victory for the pro-life movement. It is a direct result of the hard work and prayers of tens of millions of Americans. It is also, by no means, the end of our fight.” [Twitter, @GeneralMcGuire, 6/24/22]
¶ McGuire Supported Leaving Abortion Legislation Up To The States
McGuire Said He Would Not Vote To Override The Filibuster For Federal Legislation Banning Abortion. According to Arizona’s Family, “One of the Republican primary candidates for the U.S. Senate said he wouldn’t help a national abortion ban clear a major legislative hurdle if he’s given a chance. ‘I will not vote to override the filibuster; it would take 60 votes to enact federal legislation of that requirement,’ Michael ‘Mick’ McGuire said on Monday. McGuire, the former head of the Arizona National Guard, opposes abortion but said it should be left up to the states should the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade. McGuire was the only GOP Senate candidate willing to go on camera today.” [Arizona’s Family, 5/9/22]
