Washington Examiner - Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Stacey Abrams, a Democratic candidate for governor in Georgia, didn’t give a direct answer Sunday when asked if she would support any restrictions on abortion as the top executive of the state.
CNN’s Jake Tapper interviewed Abrams days after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and ended the nearly 50-year nationwide right to an abortion. After noting that about 2 in 3 people in the United States support Roe, though “more nuanced questions” show most people support some restrictions on abortion, Tapper asked, “Do you think the government should play any role in restricting abortion? As governor, what restrictions would you be willing to support in Georgia, if any?”
Abrams said her “first responsibility is to protect the life and the welfare of the women in the state and to make it safe for them to make medical choices.”
