Michigan GOP candidate James Craig says he is 'pro-life', would support state abortion ban

Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate James Craig told supporters that he is pro-life and that if elected, he will block Democrats from repealing a state law that makes it a felony to perform an abortion.

Craig's remarks were secretly recorded by American Bridge 21st Century, a progressive political action committee that conducts opposition research on Republicans, and leaked to the Detroit Metro Times.

While speaking with supporters last Thursday, Craig was asked if he would stop Democrats "from undoing the law that makes abortion illegal in Michigan."

"I will do whatever I can — I'm pro-life," Craig said.
