Meet the Press interviews for 2022 races: on Abortion


Evan McMullin: We've got to stand up to extremes tearing the country apart

It's tearing the country apart where extreme bills are being passed around the country, some of which my opponent has supported, which would not allow exceptions for the victims of rape or incest. I think that's wrong. And we've got to stand up to those extremes. But more importantly, we've got to find a more constructive way forward. And that's about making contraception more available, doing more to support women, children, and families, and improving education on this matter.

Stacey Abrams: Politicians are not scientists, don't set arbitrary limits

You do it by not setting arbitrary, gestational limits, that rarely reflect medical decision making. This is a medical decision. When we tell women and their doctors to make these choices, we are saying we respect the responsibility that women have and the obligation that doctors have. That politicians are not scientists. We should not be setting into law these moving targets that do not reflect the reality that women face when they're sitting in that doctor's office.
