Michael Whatley’s extremism is in the spotlight after Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, a dark money anti-abortion group that exclusively supports candidates who back a national abortion ban, announced they will spend millions to back DC insider Michael Whatley.

Whatley was “proud” when Roe v. Wade was overturned and celebrated North Carolina passing a severe abortion ban with limited exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother, calling it “responsible,” “reasonable,” and “mainstream.” Whatley was also chair of the North Carolina Republican Party when it adopted a platform with a plank that would ban abortion nationwide with no exceptions.

Now, Whatley wants to take his support for a national abortion ban to the U.S. Senate.

“Michael Whatley praised North Carolina’s dangerous abortion ban that had limited exceptions as ‘responsible’ and ‘reasonable,’ and now he’s promising to take it nationwide,” said Mallory Payne, senior communications advisor for the North Carolina Democratic Party. “Per usual, DC insider Michael Whatley is putting special interests ahead of protecting women and their freedoms.”
