Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh doubled down in a recent interview with ESPN after discussing his stance at an anti-abortion event July 17. During the interview, Harbaugh said if someone in his family or program was involved in an unplanned pregnancy and they didn’t want the baby, he and his wife would take it.
“Let’s discuss it,” Harbaugh told ESPN’s Gene Wojciechowski. “I’ve told [them] the same thing I tell my kids, boys, the girls, same thing I tell our players, our staff members. I encourage them if they have a pregnancy that wasn’t planned, to go through with it, go through with it. Let that unborn child be born, and if at that time, you don’t feel like you can care for it, you don’t have the means or the wherewithal, then Sarah and I will take that baby.”
Harbaugh’s wife, Sarah, also spoke at last week’s Plymouth Right to Life event in Plymouth, Mich.
