2014 California Governor's race: on Abortion


Neel Kashkari: Supports abortion rights

The same characteristics that set Kashkari apart from traditional Republicans are the factors that will make June's primary election tough for him, said one pundit. Kashkari is fiscally conservative, but supports abortion rights and gay marriage. He owns a gun, but he's in favor of requiring background checks before all firearms sales.

Antonio Villaraigosa: GOP rejects abortion in case of rape & incest

Villaraigosa told Fox News that Democrats have a "plan to take us forward."

"I don't want to describe either Gov. Mitt Romney or the Republicans as stupid, but I will say if you look at their platform, the 2012 platform, it looks like it is from another century and maybe even two. It looks like the platform of 1812," Villaraigosa said.

"When you see that they want to repeal the Affordable Care Act, providing 32 million people with health care with no alternative plan of their own, they call for the deportation of 11 million people. No country in the world has ever done that. They don't believe in abortion in the case of rape and incest. It is it a platform that's from another century."
