WARREN’S WAR OF WORDS
– Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren is facing criticism from her Republican challenger, Geoff Diehl, who claims she is distorting his stance on abortion. Diehl, currently a state representative, has accused Warren of spreading a “false narrative” that he is against abortion, and insists his position is more nuanced.
DETAILS ON DIEHL
– While Diehl supports the Hyde Amendment, which restricts federal funding for abortion, he does not support overturning Roe v. Wade. Diehl’s campaign has stated that he believes in exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother.
WARREN’S RESPONSE
– Warren’s campaign has fired back, saying that Diehl’s support for the Hyde Amendment and pro-life justices puts him in opposition to safe, legal abortion.
