2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders said Saturday that “being pro-choice is an essential part†of being a Democrat.
The Vermont senator spoke Saturday morning at the “Our Rights, Our Courts†presidential forum in New Hampshire. Demand Justice Initiative, Center for Reproductive Rights, NARAL Pro-Choice America and MSNBC cosponsored the event.
Sanders discussed whether Democrats must be pro-choice. “I think in the Senate’s, probably 95% of the Democrats are pro-choice, the other few are not — in the House, maybe even a higher percentage,†he said.
“So that’s kind of what my view is. I think by this time in history, I think when we talk about what a Democrat is, I think being pro-choice is an essential part of that,†he added.
