Debate time! I’ll be asking to see if they #AskAboutAbortion . Watch this thread.
Okay not reproductive right, but family leave!
.@amyklobuchar says she’d push for three months of paid family leave.
Why not more? She says that’s what the US can actually pay for.
“I’m not going to go for things because they sound good on a bumper sticker.”
- @amyklobuchar
.@KamalaHarris says she’d offer six months of paid family leave.
She says it’s meant to adjust the “reality” of women’s lives today.
She says for funding details go to her website.
Halfway through, not a thing about abortion or reproductive rights yet.
#AskAboutAbortion #DemDebate
Here we go!!!!
Maddow asks @amyklobuchar if she’d interfere if Roe v Wade were overturned.
Klobuchar says she’d codify Roe v Wade into law.
.@ewarren says that rich women will always be able to get an abortion; abortion bans impact low income women, girls, and victims of incest.
.@BernieSanders says he’s sick of the hypocrisy on the right - if republicans want small government, then abortion regulations shouldn’t be part of their platform, Sanders says.
“Women control their own bodies, not the government”
Interesting note: @ewarren dodges question of whether or not there’s room in the Democratic Party for anti-abortion ideology. Just last week Louisiana re-elected a Democratic Governor who’s passed anti-abortion regulations.
