Video shows Dem candidate apparently supporting abortion through all nine months

Published September 17, 2018 9:09pm ET



In footage recorded at a meeting in July of 2017, Democratic congressional candidate Josh Harder appears to signal support for abortion through all nine months of a pregnancy.

Video taken during a gathering of the Our Revolution chapter in Turlock, Calif., on July 26 of that year documents Harder wading into a conversation about the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funds from paying for abortion. “If I’m in Congress, I will absolutely sponsor legislation to overturn that,” he says. “And the reason for that, is I’m 100 percent pro-choice. And the reason for that is that, is I think that women should be, and are the best judges for what they can actually have with their bodies.”
