Michigan Wolverines football coach Jim Harbaugh has pulled no punches on where he stands on the abortion debate.
At a Right to Life dinner in Plymouth, Michigan this past weekend, Harbaugh declared that he believes all life has value and that those who share his viewpoint should be courageous in declaring that.

“I believe in having the courage to let the unborn be born,” Harbaugh, who is Cathloic, said. “I love life. I believe in having a loving care and respect for life and death. My faith and my science are what drives these beliefs in me. Quoting from Jeremiah, ‘Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart. I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.'”
While many states are still debating on whether or not to allow abortions to be legal, Harbaugh expressed optimism the country would ultimately choose what is right and good.
“I have faith in the American people to ultimately develop the right policies and laws for all lives involved,” Harbaugh said.
In a world where athletes and coaches are afraid to voice pro-life beliefs (or anything that isn’t woke), it was encouraging to see that one man was so willing to boldly declare that he is unashamedly pro-life.
