Harbaugh, a Catholic, and his wife Sarah talked last week at the pro-life ‘Plymouth Right to Life’ event. He spoke about how his pro-life beliefs were instilled by his mother and father from a young age.
“I believe in having the courage to let the unborn be born, inch Harbaugh said . “I love life. I believe in having an adoring care and regard for life and passing away. My faith and my science are what drive these types of beliefs in me personally. Quoting from Jeremiah: ‘Before I produced you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were created, I set you apart. I designated you as a prophet to the nations. ‘”
When asked about those feedback in an interview with ESPN’s Gene Wojciechowski over the weekend, Harbaugh said: “Faith, family members, football… those are my priorities. I just think that… the illigal baby killing issue is one that’s so big it needs to be talked about. It requires serious conversation. What do you think? What do I think? What do others believe? ”
He added: “It’s a life-or-death type of issue. And I believe in, and I respect, someones views. But let’s take a hear them. Take a look at discuss them because there’s passion on both sides of this concern. So when you mix that with regard, that’s when the best results come…. [I’m] just contributing to that conversation and that communication, which I think is really important, in my opinion. ”
Harbaugh’s responses come after a huge uproar over the Great Court’s momentous choice to overturn Roe v. Wade in June which usually eliminates the almost 50-year-old federal constitutional right to have an illigal baby killing in the US.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Courtroom officially transmitted the judgment, clearing the way for state restrictions to go into impact. A number of states — including Idaho, Tennessee and Texas — were waiting for this particular official word to come before enacting a selection of their laws to restrict abortions, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive rights think tank.
Over fifty percent of the states in america have laws that ban or severely restrict abortion legal rights, and some have alleged trigger laws which were meant to take effect automatically if Roe v. Wade were ever reversed. Since the court struck down Roe, legal arguements are underway in a number of states with followers of abortion rights seeing some achievement in temporarily preventing bans in at least five states, which includes Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan and Utah.
The verdict has sparked widespread protests and demonstrations as abortion rights activists took to the streets to show their outrage on the decision.
Harbaugh, a former NFL quarterback and NFL coach, has been outspoken about social justice problems over recent years, showing his vehement support for Colin Kaepernick as well as attending a good anti-police brutality march in the week after George Floyd’s murder.
He said in the interview with ESPN that if any of their players or staff members are to have an infant that they are not prepared to care for, he great wife would take care of it.
“Any participant on our team, any female staff member or any type of staff member or anyone in our family or our extended family members… that doesn’t feel like once they have a baby they can take care of it, we all got a big home. We’ll raise that baby. ”
