Republican in key Senate race claims young women are 'indoctrinated' on abortion in unearthed recording
https://www.yahoo.com/news/republican-key-senate-race-claims-235234167.htmlThe Republican candidate in a crucial US Senate race in Montana has accused young women of being "indoctrinated" into becoming "single-issue voters" on abortion.
In recordings made public on Monday byThe Char-Koosta News, a newspaper on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana, Tim Sheehy said that reproductive rights were "all [young women] want to talk about" and falsely claimed that Democrats support murdering babies after they've been born.
The former US Navy Seal is running against Democratic incumbent Jon Tester for one of Montana's two Senate seats, which is highly contested and could easily end up deciding control of the chamber.
"Listen, they've been indoctrinated for too long," Sheehy is reported to have said during a campaign stop at the Big Sky Motel in Superior, Montana in September 2023.
"I sat with a group of younger folks a couple of months ago, talking about just various issues, and one of them was life. Because of course, young women between the ages of 19 and 30, abortion is their number one concern.
