Former NFL coach Tony Dungy criticized Vice President Kamala Harris’ statement on X reconciling faith with abortion.
Harris claimed, “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.”

Dungy, a former NFL defensive back and coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts, asked if Harris was talking about the “Christian faith.”
“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?” he asked.
“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)?”
Dungy also reposted a statement from former NFL tight end Benjamin Watson, who criticized Harris’ claim that a mother from Georgia died as a result of abortion bans.
“Amber Thurman’s tragic death was caused by complications from legal abortion drugs and gross medical malpractice. She should have been treated immediately by physicians who instead waited too long to act,” Watson wrote.
“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 @vp should focus her attention on these facts so we can prevent the next tragedy rather than promoting politically motivated falsehoods.”
