Ramaswamy Endorsed By Anti-Abortion Group Whose Leader Said Exceptions for Rape and Incest are "Just Wrong" and "Abominable"

July 16, 2026

Columbus, Ohio - Last week, Vivek Ramaswamy was endorsed by Susan B Anthony Pro-Life America (SBA), an extreme anti-abortion group with a stated "mission is to end abortion", completely ignoring the constitutional amendment Ohioans overwhelmingly voted for in 2023.

SBA President Marjorie Dannenfelser called Ramaswamy "exactly the type of leader Ohio needs." Dannenfelser has previously said exceptions for rape and incest are "just wrong" and said "the rape exception is abominable."

Ohioans already know Vivek Ramaswamy thinks he knows better than them when it comes to reproductive rights. NBC News reported he was endorsed by the Right to Life Action Coalition of Ohio, which requires "fundamental agreement" with their policy platform for an endorsement.

This platform includes a total ban on abortion and all forms of contraception.

Ramaswamy has also described himself as pro-life "without any qualification", campaigned against Ohio's abortion rights amendment, and chose a running mate who was the architect of the extreme laws Ohioans rejected in 2023.

"Extreme groups that want to dismantle the rights Ohioans overwhelmingly voted for are supporting Ramaswamy because he shares their out-of-touch views and contempt for Ohioans," said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. "Unfortunately for Ramaswamy, the rest of Ohio sees through his poorly disguised scams and will never vote for a candidate who thinks he knows better than the majority of Ohio voters."
