On the night of August 26th, Democrat presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke held a rally in Charleston, South Carolina. O'Rourke took several questions from attendees during the event, and one came from a young man with concerns about a recent statement O'Rourke had made about abortion. His question was this: "I was born on September 8th, 1989, and I want to know if you think on September 7th, 1989 my life had no value." In response, Beto had this to say: "This is a decision that neither you nor I nor the United States Government should be making. That's a decision for the woman to make."By this statement, Beto is saying that it is acceptable for a woman to have an abortion at any time in her pregnancy up until the moment of birth as long as she believes it is ok. This is an alarming stance that is all too common in the Democratic presidential field today. Click here or watch the video below to view the full exchange.
No matter how you ask the question, my answer will be the same: The decision of whether or not to get an abortion is one neither I nor the United States government should be making. That's a decision for the woman to make. pic.twitter.com/0AcwfGQ1dr— Beto O'Rourke (@BetoORourke) August 27, 2019
