Montana senator slams GOP opponent for ‘total bunk’ abortion lies

Democratic Sen. Jon Tester of Montana and Republican nominee Tim Sheehy debated on Monday night amid a tight race for a seat that could determine control of the Senate. During the debate, Tester tied himself to a ballot initiative to amend the state constitution to protect the right to abortion until viability.

“Well, the bottom line is this—whose decision is it to be made?” Tester said. “Is it the federal government's decision? The state government's decision? Tim Sheehy's decision? John Tester’s decision? No. It's the woman's decision. Tim Sheehy has called abortion ‘terrible’ and ‘murder.’ That doesn't sound to me like he's supporting the woman to make that decision.”
