In one of the most anticipated election season events, Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz finally faced Democrat John Fetterman in a debate. And they both immediately came out swinging.
On the campaign trail, Oz stated he’s pro-life but supports abortion exceptions in cases of rape, incest, and to protect the mother’s life. Thus, a question first went to him and challenged that by asking if abortion, in general, should be banned.
“There should not be involvement from the federal government on how states decide their abortion decision,” Oz responded. “As a physician, I’ve been in the room when there’s some difficult conversations happening. I don’t want the federal government involved with that at all.”
Oz then pivoted to attacking Fetterman over his “extreme” and “out-of-touch” abortion stance, “[Fetterman] would demand federally mandated rules for all states—they have to follow that—would allow abortion at 38 weeks on the delivery table, and he would force it to be subsidized by taxpayers across the country no matter what their personal beliefs are.
