TV doctor turned Republican senatorial candidate Mehmet Oz has been tough to pin down on abortion.
He claims to be 100% pro-life, but he also has some exceptions. And as recently as 2019, Oz defended Roe v. Wade.
But now, The Daily Beast has obtained audio from a campaign event this May where Oz staked out his most extreme position yet, telling voters he believes abortion at any stage of development is still murder, including from the moment of conception.

Its not clear where Oz stands on abortion laws that might effectively also ban in vitro fertilization. According to his most recent financial disclosure, Oz and his wife hold between $1.5 million and $6 million of shares in Prelude Fertility, part of the largest in vitro fertility network in the United Stateswhich is currently looking for a buyer.
Abortion rights are on the ballot this year, and Democrats see the issue playing to their favor. Theyre betting big, as polls in the wake of the Supreme Courts Dobbs decision suggest an energized pro-choice electorate could make the difference in key midterm races. That includes Pennsylvania, which The New York Times has called the biggest abortion battleground of the midterms, and where support for abortion access is at an all-time high.
