Masters in a 2021 interview labeled himself “unapologetically pro-life” and argued that the “federal government has a role to play” in the abortion debate by recognizing “federal personhood” at a certain point in pregnancy, leading to “absolutely no abortions” past that point. He also said that abortion rights activists were “demonic” and that abortion is a “religious sacrifice to these people.”
Masters is now looking to modify those views, with his website using more careful and less specific language on abortion and the candidate putting out a video that looks to scale back his strict positions…
A person close to Masters told CNN that the Republican candidate designs, codes and updates his website himself — and that his recent updates to the abortion section reflect his desire to use his policy section as a “living document” rather than an immutable record of his positions.
This person said that Masters’ views have not changed and that he still holds the positions he has scrubbed from the site.
