With Kemp consistently leading in the polls, the Sunday night debate was arguably more important for Abrams to leave an impression on voters.
ATLANTA, Ga. - With less than two weeks before Election Day, Governor Brian Kemp and Stacey Abrams squared off inWith Kemp consistently leading in the polls, the night was arguably more important for Abrams to leave an impression on voters.
Abrams leaned into issues surrounding women’s healthcare, rolling back the state’s constitutional carry law, and she challenged Kemp’s economic plan. “What I will not do is give tax cuts to the wealthy and the powerful. I will focus on our workers and our small businesses putting them first,” said Abrams, in the one-hour debate hosted by WSB-TV.
Kemp said voters should be compelled to re-elect him based on his last four years, specifically pointing to the economic wins.“I’ve been consistent, I’ve been transparent, I’ve done the exact things I’ve said I could do. And I think that’s a good reason for people to re-elect me,” said Gov. Kemp.Abrams said the state’s ‘heartbeat bill,’ which went into effect after Roe v. Wade was overturned, could open up the potential for investigations into women who have miscarriages.
“We know that under the law he signed, women can be investigated for miscarriages and other pregnancy losses. And 52 counties said they will indeed pursue those investigations because they don’t think they have a choice,” said Abrams.“That’s absolutely false,” said Kemp. “Women are not going to be prosecuted under this piece of legislation. Doctors who perform illegal abortions would be,” said Gov. Kemp.“I have been in the doctor’s office with my wife and seen two heartbeats on the ultrasound.
