2020 Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said he supports abortion, in part, as a way to curb human population in light of climate change.
A member of the audience asked the Vermont senator about human population growth during CNNâs climate town hall Wednesday. She specifically asked Sanders whether he would support measures to curb that growth.
The audience member added that âthe planet cannot sustain this growthâ and âempowering women and educating everyoneâ on curbing the population seems âreasonable.â Sanders said he supports women being able to âcontrol their own bodiesâ and have abortions when answering the climate change question.
âThe answer is yes and the answer has everything to do with the fact that women, in the United States of America, by the way, have a right to control their own bodies and make reproductive decisions,â Sanders said.
Thanks for the write up. I just heard that AOC just endorsed Bernie Sanders. Can you believe that after the heart attack he had? I supposed it’s a good thing though…
