On Abortion: Would support abortion restrictions after 24 weeks

Asked if they supported restrictions after 24 weeks--roughly when a healthy fetus can survive outside the womb, though viability varies from pregnancy to pregnancy --only Sestak said yes.

A majority endorsed a federal preclearance requirement for state abortion laws, which Kamala Harris proposed in May. Only Andrew Yang and Sestak definitively rejected it.
