His words have quickly gone viral on social media.
Speaking along with his wife, Sarah, the coach said, “In God’s plan, each unborn human truly has a future filled with potential, talent, dreams and love.”
“I have living proof in my family, my children, and the many thousands that I’ve coached that the unborn are amazing gifts from God to make this world a better place,” he continued.
“To me, the right choice is to have the courage to let the unborn be born,” he said. “I believe in having the courage to let the unborn be born.”

During a Q & A session later, Ms. Harbaugh said the couple wasn’t worried about being “canceled” due to their pro-life stance and said it would not negatively impact the football program’s recruiting efforts.
“During halftime of a game, talking with the players, I say they are here because they have chosen to be here,” the coach replied. “If someone believes in what they stand for, they are choosing to stand for that position, and what kind of person are you if you don’t fight tooth and nail for what you stand for? You get to change hearts by fighting for what you stand for.”
Sunday’s event raised some $144,000 for various pro-life charities and programs in southeast Michigan, the Detroit Catholic reported. The entirety of the speeches can be seen here.
