On the Record: Yvette Herrell Can’t Run From Her Anti-Abortion Agenda

Once again, Yvette Herrell is desperately trying to mislead New Mexicans about her dangerous agenda to ban all abortions.

This time, she is shamelessly claiming that Gabe Vasquez's latest ad on her anti-abortion stance is a lie. But as Herrell told the Santa Fe New Mexican, her "position on abortion is very clear."

As the Vasquez ad shows, Yvette Herrell is on tape in her own words saying, "I wish we could have eliminated all abortion in the state."

Herrell also conveniently neglected to mention that she cosponsored the Life at Conception Act which would ban abortion nationwide with no exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the woman.

Herrell even compared abortion to eugenics and supported criminalizing doctors and patients.

DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
"Yvette Herrell keeps lying to New Mexicans about her anti-abortion agenda but the facts are clear. Herrell said she wants to ban all abortions and cosponsored legislation to do so while in Congress. No amount of spin can hide her dangerous, radical plan to strip New Mexicans of their reproductive rights."
