The candidates for U.S. House offered differing views on abortion and presidential elections while showcasing a difference in personal style.
U.S. House Republican challenger Nick Begich III and Congresswoman Mary Peltola, a Democrat, presented their views Thursday at Debate for the State at Alaska Public Media.
“Being pregnant and delivering a baby is one of the most lethal things a woman can do in her lifetime,” Peltola said. “This is one of the deadliest propositions a woman can undertake. Myriad things can go wrong, and it is not anyone’s place in D.C. or in the state Legislature to get between a woman and her doctor.”
“I think it’s acceptable and reasonable for any American to question, hey, is this reasonable? Is this what we expect in a free and fair election?” he said. “And I think the answer is a clear no.”
