The first #Debates2020 is officially underway!

I'm looking into everything the candidates have to say about abortion rights, women's health and if the moderator #askaboutabortion. Follow along on this thread 👇👇👇

First topic is Supreme Court! I imagine we'll be getting to Roe v Wade sooner than later! Buckle up!

Biden says Roe v Wade is "at stake right now."

President appears to reject that, saying that we don't know how Amy Coney Barrett feels about Roe v. Wade and that abortion isn't on the ballot.

Here's what we know about ACB's record on abortion rights:

Chris Wallace, tonight's moderator, stops the back and forth and says we'll be getting to Roe v Wade later.

Looks like we're going to #AskAboutAbortion !

Also, Biden says abortion is "on the ballot", which Trump totally rejected.

Worth noting that abortion is literally on the ballot in Colorado and Louisiana via ballot measures:

CO: A 22-week abortion ban

LA: A Constitutional amendment against abortion:

Only have 15 minutes left... Do you think we're going to get back to Roe v Wade and access to abortion?
