Metro Voice News Celebrating Faith, Family & Community
Tony Dungy, the Super Bowl-winning coach turned broadcaster, criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for saying that supporting abortion doesn’t require a person to compromise their faith.
“One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree: The government, and certainly Donald Trump, should not be telling a woman what to do with her body,” Harris wrote.
In response, Dungy questioned what “faith” Harris was talking about. “I hear you make this statement all the time,” Dungy wrote on X. “Exactly what ‘faith’ are you talking about when you say you don’t have to abandon it to support abortion?”
Dungy, an outspoken Christian who has fostered more than 100 children and adopted eight with his wife, said Christian faith “says all babies are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26), that God places them in the womb (Jeremiah 1:5) and that we should not take any life unjustly (Luke 18:20).”
“Are you talking about that faith or some nebulous, general ‘faith’ that says we’re good enough and smart enough to make our own decisions?” he asked, according to Christian Post. “What ‘faith’ are you talking about?”

Dungy has never shied away from using his platform to discuss his deep-seated beliefs and advocate for what he considers to be the core values of Christian faith and family. He has a history of defending and promoting pro-life positions. In 2017, Dungy publicly support Benjamin Watson, a former NFL player and outspoken Christian who criticized Planned Parenthood and its founder for racial motivations linked to the high rates of abortions in African American communities.
Dungy praised Watson for his “truth on a controversial issue,” linking his stance to broader racial and ethical considerations surrounding abortion. His support came in response to an article summarized by the pro-life group Live Action, which featured Watson’s critical views on Planned Parenthood’s historical context and impact on minority communities. Dungy also has actively participated in forums and initiatives aimed at addressing racial issues and promoting fatherhood.
