00:00Do you support any legal limits on how late a woman should be able to terminate a pregnancy?
00:05I support Roe v. Wade, which had three trimesters.
00:09First time is between the woman and the doctor.
00:12Second time is between the doctor and an extreme situation.
00:16The third time is between the doctor, I mean, between the woman and the state.
00:21The idea that the politicians, that the founders wanted the politicians to be the ones making
00:26decisions about women's health is ridiculous.
00:29That's the last, no politician should be making that decision.
00:32A doctor should be making those decisions.
00:34That's how it should be run.
00:35That's what you're going to do.
00:36And if I'm elected, I'm going to restore Roe v. Wade.
00:39So that means he can take the life of the baby in the ninth month and even after birth
00:45because some states, Democrat run, take it after birth.
00:48Again, the governor, former governor of Virginia, put the baby down, then we decide what to
00:53do with it.
00:54So he's willing to, as we say, rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month and kill
00:59the baby.
01:00Nobody wants that to happen, Democrat or Republican, nobody wants it to happen.
01:06That is simply not true.
01:08That Roe v. Wade does not provide for that.
01:11That's not the circumstance.
01:12Only if a woman's life is in danger, she's going to die.
01:15That's the only circumstance in which that can happen.
01:17But we are not for late term abortion, period, period, period.
01:21Under Roe v. Wade, you have late term abortion.
01:24You can do whatever you want.
01:25Depending on the state, you can do whatever you want.
01:28We don't think that's a good thing.
01:29We think it's a radical thing.
01:31We think the Democrats are the radicals, not the Republicans.
01:34For 51 years, that was the law.
01:3651 years, Constitutional Scholarship said it was the right way to go.
01:3951 years and it was taken away because this guy put very conservative members on the Supreme
01:44Court.
01:45He takes credit for taking it away.
01:47What's he going to do?
01:48What's he going to do?
01:50If the MAGA Republicans, he gets elected and the MAGA Republicans control the Congress
01:55and they pass a universal ban on abortion, period, across the board at six weeks or seven
02:01or eight or ten weeks, something very, very conservative.
02:03Is he going to sign that bill?
02:05I'll veto it.
02:06He'll sign it.
02:07Thank you.
