"Can you just be clear about what limits on abortion should be?" Bash asked.
"The policy- it's not up to Donald Trump or me," Newsom replied."It's up to you, to women that have to bear that responsibility uniquely and distinctively. And the reality is, it's a canard. It's a political frame. It's total BS. And it's exactly where they need to go because they know they've gone too far."
Newsom stressed the constitutional amendment"has some nuance in it" that's being"adjudicated in public opinion." "I just want to be clear because people are going to be listening very carefully to what you're saying," Bash followed."You do not believe it is the role of government nationally or state government to have any limits on the books legally."
