Harbaugh has also stated his view on abortion. In a podcast interview in April, 2020, Harbaugh cited it as "horrendous" saying, "And lastly, abortion, we talk about sanctity of life, yet we live in a society that aborts babies. There can't be anything more horrendous." In the aftermath of the death of George Floyd from police brutality, Harbaugh expressed his outrage and stated, "All injustice should be confronted and punished. It has to be equal and fair to all, and no one can be above the law." On June 2, 2020, a week after the death of Floyd, Harbaugh participated in a anti-police brutality commemorative protest in Ann Arbor. Michigan OC Josh Gattis separately thanked Harbaugh and his family for their impact on African-American coaches and players, stating "in challenging times of racial inequality and injustice I am even more thankful for the Harbaugh Family!" Gattis credited Harbaugh for "the fairness and promotion of black coaches in leadership roles like David Shaw, Derek Mason, Willie Taggart, Jim Caldwell, Pep Hamilton" and himself. Harbaugh's participation in the equality and anti-brutality protest was also singled out by President Obama, who praised him for "being on the right side of this issue."
