'They have binkies': RepTimRyan pressed on late-term abortion during Ohio Senate town hall
"I believe that if it's later in the term that there should not be an abortion unless there's a medical emergency," Ryan said."At that point, people have a nursery, they have binkies, they have blankets, they have names picked out. They're ready to have a party. If it happens late in term, that's tragedy — it's absolute tragedy. So I don't think we should have abortions later in the term unless there's a medical emergency.
Ryan, who is currently a U.S. congressman, then went on to describe stories of women who have had to go to Illinois for an abortion due to Ohio's strict abortion laws, and he criticized Vance for calling for a national abortion ban. When further pressed on what his limit for an abortion should be, he said he believes a cutoff at the third term is ideal, saying it was whatRyan has spent much of his campaign presenting himself as a centrist Democrat running against an extremist in Vance, even going so far as to distance himself from many left-wing rallying calls, particularly regarding crime. During the same town hall, he called for the opposite of the widespread Democratic proposal in 2020 of defunding the police.
"Crime is an issue. I don’t care what anybody says about that," Ryan said."We need more cops, we need better-paid cops, and we need to make sure that we invest into police training," he said.
