Time for the #DemDebate! I’m watching for anything about reproductive health and abortion access. Let’s see if the moderators #askaboutabortion ....
Here’s a stunning stat from @mmfa:
“The debates have devoted just 24 minutes out of approximately 20 hours in total to discussions of abortion or reproductive rights.”
That’s TWO PERCENT. That’s it.
#AskAboutAbortion
Nearly an hour in and nothing on reproductive health or abortion access yet.
#DemDebate #AskAboutAbortion
In 2018 Iowa was one of the first states to pass a ban on abortion at 6 weeks, before most women know they’re pregnant.
Earlier this month, dozens of politicians called Roe v Wade “unworkable.”
But 90 minutes into this #DemDebate not a question on abortion.
#AskAboutAbortion
Elizabeth Warren just used her closing arguments to remind the audience of all the things that weren’t brought up during the debate.... but doesn’t mention abortion access.
Well, that concludes the first #DemDebate of 2020 and not a single question or even mention of reproductive rights or abortion.
Be sure to tune into CBSN now where @CHueyBurns will be talking to all of the candidates.
