On Abortion: Men shouldn't make decisions about women and abortion

Abortion has often seemed like a millstone hanging on GOP candidates since the Supreme Court erased federal abortion rights in June, and Masters has taken heat over his changing rhetoric on the issue. But on Thursday, he told viewers that [Democratic opponent Sen. Mark] Kelly is the radical on the issue.

But Kelly unloaded what may have been the most memorable lines in the debate answering a question about abortion that turned into a scathing, personal indictment of Masters.

"I think we all know guys like this," Kelly said in a flash of passion. "Guys that think they know better than everyone about everything."

"You think you know better than women and doctors about abortion. You even think you know better than seniors about Social Security. You think you know better than veterans about how to win a war. Folks, we all know guys like this, and we can't be letting them make decisions about us because it's just dangerous."

On Energy & Oil: Inflation Reduction Act lets us create renewable energy

We're putting more carbon up into the atmosphere every year. Now, the Inflation Reduction Act is giving us some of the tools to deal with this and bring down the amount of carbon that we're putting in the atmosphere. At the same time, it's allowing us to create the renewable energy that we need here and build it in the United States, and not have to buy stuff from China anymore. So that was a positive first step.
