2020 SC Senate race: on Abortion


Jaime Harrison: Should be between a woman, her doctor, her God

Q: Does a woman in this country have the right to control her own body even if she wants an abortion?

Harrison: I believe she does. Men have rights to control their bodies and women should have equal rights to control their bodies as well. I believe that it's between a woman, her doctor, and her God. Politicians shouldn't be anywhere in it. We need to make sure that abortions should be rare. We should look at how we expand adoptions, how we have contraception and educate our kids about all of that.

Lindsey Graham: Eliminate abortion on demand at 20 weeks

Q: Does a woman in this country have the right to control her own body even if she wants an abortion?

Graham: I am proudly pro-life. I'm sponsoring a bill that would eliminate abortion on-demand at 20 weeks. We're one of seven nations in the entire world to allow a baby to be aborted at 20 weeks, the fifth month in pregnancy, and my opponent opposes that. This a radical Democratic Party we're dealing with.
