The Missouri Senate candidate seems to be very firm in his belief that teenagers should be forced to carry pregnancies to term in all cases
Senate candidate Mark McCloskey wants you to know he’s not just a gun extremist. Photo: Bill Greenblatt/UPI/Shutterstock With the U.S. Supreme Court quite possibly on the brink of abolishing federal reproductive rights and returning abortion policy to the states, it’s alarming to note that the anti-abortion movement is becoming even more radical about what it intends to do with that power if it gets it.
He made the comments in response to an audience member’s question at a forum in Osage Beach. “There’s a lot of candidates that say they’re pro-life, but really they’re not completely pro-life,” the woman in the audience said, according to a video of the event posted on Facebook. “There’s a lot of, ‘Well in this case, it would be allowed.’”McCloskey, a St. Louis personal-injury attorney, responded that he doesn’t “believe in any exceptions.
He said it had bothered him “as long ago as when I was in grade school” that some death-penalty opponents also support abortion rights. His comments received applause from the audience. “The justice of the Supreme Court in the most heinous crimes don’t have the right to decide who should live and die,” he said.
