Republican North Dakota State Rep. Eric Murphy lost his primary Tuesday after introducing what one pro-life leader described as the “most pro abortion bill” in state history.
Murphy landed 3rd place with 24.3% of the vote, Grand Rapid Herald reported Wednesday. He reportedly told ProPublica that he believed his bill will cost him Republican support ahead of the election.
Murphy didn’t respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
“We are extremely pleased with the results, because Eric Murphy introduced the most pro-abortion bill our state has ever seen,” North Dakota Right for Life Executive Director Bridget Turbide told the DCNF. “Jill Chandler, former Executive Director of Relate Care Clinic, Grand Forks pregnancy center, stepped up to the plate to challenge him in the primary and won! The pro-life movement in ND couldn’t have asked for a better outcome!”
“I served with integrity and political courage. I worked for the betterment of K12 public education and Healthcare in NoDak,” Rep. Murphy said in an X post
