While some other 2022 Democratic Senate candidates are hiding behind a smokescreen and falsely claiming they support legal limits on abortion late in pregnancy, Wisconsin’s Democratic Senate candidate Mandela Barnes openly admits he wants abortion allowed through all nine months of pregnancy.
An exchange between National Review and Barnes on the campaign trail:
National Review: Lieutenant Governor, last night at the [Wisconsin Senate] debate, Ron Johnson said that you support abortion up until birth. You responded you support Roe. But what about after viability, when Roe said that there could be limits? Say at 23 weeks of pregnancy, if the pregnancy doesn’t pose a risk to the physical health of the mother — [the] baby’s healthy — should abortion be legal or illegal in those cases after viability?
Mandela Barnes: It all goes back to this decision being made between a woman and her doctor. That’s as simple as it gets.
