Today, Yvette Herrell is proudly campaigning with Mike Johnson - the architect behind a plan to institute a national abortion ban that would outlaw abortion with no exeptions for rape, incest, or the health and life of the woman.
This is no surprise coming from Herrell, who also co-sponsored that same national abortion ban and has been caught on camera proudly stating "I wish we could have eliminated all abortion in [New Mexico]."
Yvette Herrell is one of the Republican Party's most extreme anti-abortion crusaders, comparing abortion to eugenics and supporting the criminalization of both abortion health care providers and women receiving care.
Herrell may have tried to hide her anti-abortion views by scrubbing all mentions of her record from her campaign website, but by campaigning with Mike Johnson, she is once again doubling down on her dangerous agenda.
DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
"Bringing Mike Johnson on the campaign trail may buy Yvette Herrell favor with her party's leaders, but all it does for the average New Mexican is remind them of Herrell's steadfast anti-abortion extremism. Johnson and Herrell's radical and divisive abortion agenda was already resoundingly rejected in 2022, and New Mexican voters will reject Herrell once more this November."
