This isn’t the primary time Harbaugh has publicly expressed his pro-life stance. In 2022, he and his spouse Sarah spoke on the ‘Plymouth Right to Life’ occasion, the place he shared how his pro-life beliefs have been rooted in his upbringing. Harbaugh is a religious Catholic and sometimes intertwines his religion along with his views on life and dying.
Throughout the occasion, Harbaugh quoted from the Bible, reinforcing his perception within the sanctity of life: “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.” He emphasised the significance of respecting life from conception to pure dying.
In an interview with ESPN’s Gene Wojciechowski, Harbaugh elaborated on his priorities and views on the abortion debate.
He mentioned, “Faith, family, football … those are my priorities. The abortion issue is one that’s so big that it needs to be talked about. It needs serious conversation. What do you think? What do I think? What do others think?”
“It’s a life-or-death type of issue. And I believe in, and I respect, people’s views. But let’s hear them. Let’s discuss them because there’s passion on both sides of this issue. So when you combine that with respect, that’s when the best results come,” he added.
