All Michigan GOP Candidates For Attorney General Support Overturning SCOTUS Ruling On Contraception

The Michigan Advance reports:

It may have been the last question of last week’s debate for the three men seeking the GOP nomination for Michigan attorney general, but the inquiry seeking their stances on a 1965 Supreme Court ruling has garnered the most attention.

The question concerned the high court’s decision in Griswold v. Connecticut, a landmark decision that struck down Connecticut’s ban on the sale of contraception.

DePerno, who sued to overturn Michigan’s 2020 election, also appeared in Mike Lindell’s nutbag film, Absolute Proof. The “documentary” was distributed by OAN.

About 90% of Americans support birth control. All three GOP men running for Michigan attorney general in 2022 want a landmark decision on contraception overturned.

If you think Republicans are going to stop at Roe v. Wade, think again. https://t.co/C1BaxSmiRy
