Former NFL head coach Tony Dungy called out Vice President Kamala Harris over comments she’s made numerous times about how her “faith” allows for her support for abortion.
In a post on Thursday on X, the Super Bowl-winning coach of the Indianapolis Colts asked Harris about what she said during the ABC Presidential Debate with former President Donald Trump when she claimed that she could support abortion without abandoning her “faith,” then wrote similarly on social media.
“One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree: The government, and certainly Donald Trump, should not be telling a woman what to do with her body,” Harris’ post read on X.
In response, Dungy wrote, “Dear VP Harris: I hear you make this statement all the time. Exactly what ‘faith’ are you talking about when you say you don’t have to abandon it to support abortion?”
Dear VP Harris: I hear you make this statement all the time. Exactly what “faith” are you talking about when you say you don’t have to abandon it to support abortion? Are you talking about the Christian faith that says all babies are made in the image of God (Gen 1:26), that God… https://t.co/Lo7v8V4wRm

“Are you talking about the Christian faith that says all babies are made in the image of God (Gen 1:26), that God places them in the womb (Jer 1:5) and that we should not take any life unjustly (Luke 18:20)?” he added. “Are you talking about that faith or some nebulous, general ‘faith’ that says we’re good enough, and smart enough to make our own decisions? What ‘faith’ are you talking about?”
Dungy also shared a post from former NFL tight end Benjamin Watson, who blasted Harris for her post claiming that a young mom was dead because of Georgia’s pro-life laws, when in reality, the woman’s “tragic death was caused by complications from legal abortion drugs and gross medical malpractice,” Watson wrote.

“She should have been treated immediately by physicians who instead waited too long to act,” he added. “Georgia’s pro-life law is not the issue. It does not criminalize doing a D&C, especially when there is no detectable fetal heart rate.”
“Amber should be alive, and [Harris] should focus her attention on these facts so we can prevent the next tragedy rather than promoting politically motivated falsehoods,” Watson continued.
In the VP’s original post, she claimed the Georgia woman “should be alive today, raising her son and pursuing her dream of attending nursing school. This is exactly what we feared when Roe vs. Wade was struck down. In more than 20 states, Trump Abortion Bans prevent doctors from providing basic medical care.”
Also, notably, there is no such thing as a “Trump Abortion Ban” since these pro-life restrictions are state-level. The Daily Wire thoroughly debunks the narrative parroted by Harris and her allies in the media, here.
