CBS "Face the Nation" interviews during 2019: on Abortion

Amy Klobuchar: Against criminalizing abortion & imprisoning doctors

In Alabama and Georgia--states that basically have said doctors should go to prison--that women should not have a choice at all. I think that is just wrong and the vast majority of Americans are against that. 73% don't want to overturn Roe v. Wade. You do have pro-life Democrats in our party and that's fine. You see them not wanting to put that view on other people. We believe you shouldn't be putting doctors in prison for women exercising their right to choose what they want to do with their body.

Amy Klobuchar: Repeal Hyde Amendment; fund Planned Parenthood

It's not fair that women who don't have as much money, don't have the same choices as women who are wealthy. Those states that have given that right to those women have seen decreases in abortion. We have choice in our country, but we also make sure that we have reduced the number of abortions because we have contraception available because we funded Planned Parenthood.

Amy Klobuchar: New restrictive state laws are "just wrong"

What's going on in Alabama and Georgia, these states basically have said doctors should go to prison, that women should not have a choice at all. I think that is just wrong and the vast majority of Americans are going to be against that. I think you do have pro-life Democrats in our party. That's their personal view and that's fine. I think you also see them not wanting to put that view on other people. Source: CBS Face the Nation 2019 interview series Jun 9, 2019

Kirsten Gillibrand: Democratic candidates must support reproductive freedom

What I do not accept is any Democratic leader or candidate to not believe in full civil rights and human rights for women. We cannot have Democrats who are running for office who do not believe in basic health care and civil rights for women. It's just untenable, and it's unacceptable, and I will not support a candidate, and I do not believe any candidate running for President should be undermining women's reproductive freedom and our basic human rights.
