Baldwin Destroys Hovde On Abortion Issue During Debate
On Friday evening, Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin met Eric Hovde in a debate. Overall, the debate was a massacre. Hovde came unprepared and ill-informed on almost every issue. Hovde's entire debate strategy was to try and bully Baldwin into a Gotcha moment, even though he kept failing miserably even at that.
When the issue of abortion came up, Hovde might as well just have forfeited the evening. Hovde was left sputtering QAnon talking points about abortion after birth while Baldwin has been leading the charge to get Roe codified. The topic was brought up by reporter Allyson Fergot:
FERGOT: A Marquette Law School poll found that 61% of those polled across the country oppose the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade spurring lawmakers to want to codify or put into law the provisions of Roe. It establishes the right to an abortion but sets limits and includes some exceptions. What is your position on once again making Roe the law of the land. Senator Baldwin, you have 60 seconds, you will respond first.
