• Ben McAdams opposes the right to an abortion: 

  • He has voted repeatedly with Trump and Republicans to restrict access to abortion and has described himself as pro-life. He also voted to allow doctors to obstruct a woman’s access to essential reproductive care and to stop Medicaid from covering abortions for low income Utahns. McAdams even said “abortion is wrong and I personally oppose abortion” and “abortion is too common in America.”https://utahpolicy.com/archive/19972-mcadams-joins-gop-led-effort-to-force-a-vote-on-anti-abortion-bill
