Jim Harbaugh's abortion stance differs from Michigan players; 'We don't have to think the same'

INDIANAPOLIS — Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh has an opinion and he's sticking to it.

Earlier this month, Harbaugh spoke at an anti-abortion event, sharing his opinion that he is against abortion.

In an interview with ESPN last week while his team was on a tour of the state, he said he has told players and family members he would help with an unwanted pregnancy.

"I've told (them) the same thing I tell my kids, boys, the girls, same thing I tell our players, our staff members. I encourage them if they have a pregnancy that wasn't planned, to go through with it, go through with it," Harbaugh said to ESPN.
