Rob Mercuri promised that he will not support a federal abortion ban in a recent ad, but while serving in the Pennsylvania House, he supported a six-week abortion ban and voted for a constitutional amendment banning the right to an abortion.
With less than 50 days to go until Election Day, State Rep. Rob Mercuri (R-Allegheny) is attempting to hide his anti-abortion record in his race against Congressman Chris Deluzio.
In a recent ad, Mercuri stated that he “opposes criminalizing abortion because demonizing women over healthcare choices isn’t right,” but his voting record in the Pennsylvania House says otherwise.
During the 2022-23 legislative session, Mercuri cosponsored a six-week abortion ban introduced by State Rep. Stephanie Borowicz, one of the chamber’s most conservative legislators. Mercuri also voted for Senate Bill 106, a proposed constitutional amendment that would have banned the right to an abortion.
After Mercuri launched his campaign against Deluzio last year, The Keystone reported that Mercuri scrubbed his anti-abortion record from his website.
Mercuri previously called himself “a proud pro-life and pro-family leader,” who will “continue to defend the sanctity of life compassionately through all its phases and always keep the minds of families in mind when crafting policy.”
