Michigan GOP candidate: 14-year-old incest victim is "perfect" evidence for abortion ban

Gubernatorial hopeful Tudor Dixon's remark demonstrates how Michigan GOP has become "microcosm" of MAGA "insanity"

Salon

In an interview that first aired last week, Michigan's leading Republican gubernatorial candidate, Tudor Dixon, said that a 14-year-old incest victim was the “perfect example” of her justification for a nearly total ban on abortion access in the state. 

During an interview with journalist Charlie LeDuff, host of the internet talk show “No Bullshit News,” Dixon, who formerly worked in the steel industry and as founder of a “pro-America, pro-Constitution morning news program” for children, doubled down on her previous statements that she opposes abortion in all cases except when necessary to save the life of the mother. 

Asked by LeDuff about a hypothetical situation in which a 14-year-old girl became pregnant as a result of sexual abuse by a family member, Dixon said, “Perfect example.” She went on, “Because I know people who are the product. A life is a life for me. That’s how it is. That is for me, that is my feeling."
