Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy of Montana lamented that “young women between the ages of 19 and 30” are being “indoctrinated” on the issue of abortion during a campaign stop last year, according to The Daily Montanan.

“They’ve been indoctrinated for too long,” Sheehy said in recordings made public on Monday. “Abortion is their No. 1 concern. It’s all they want to talk about. They are single-issue voters. It’s all about pro-choice, pro-choice, ‘Republicans are pro-life, they want to take my rights away and lock me up and throw me away in prison.’”

He added: “And I said, well, are you familiar with what Democrats’ position is on abortion? It’s called murder. That is the position of the American Democrat Party.” As the outlet noted, the claim that abortion makes it legal to kill newborns has been repeatedly debunked.

Sheehy, a wealthy rancher and former U.S. Navy SEAL, is hoping to oust Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) in a race that is likely to determine control of the U.S. Senate.
