As some Republicans call for a national abortion ban, GOP Gov. Asa Hutchinson tells MarthaRaddatz that would be “inconsistent with that we’ve been fighting for for decades.” 'We wanted Roe v. Wade reversed and the authority to return to the states.'
Martha Raddatz interviews Gov. Asa Hutchinson, R-Ark., on"This Week."Arkansas Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson said Sunday that he opposes a national ban on abortion because it would take away the authority of a state like his that is poised to immediately ban abortion if Roe v. Wade is overturned by the Supreme Court.
"If you look at a constitutional or a national standard, that goes against that thrust of the states having prerogative," replied Hutchinson, chair of the National Governors Association."And secondly, I think there's some constitutional issues of a national standard as well as to what is the authority of the Constitution to enact that."in all cases except to save the life of the mother.
"What would you tell those women in your state who cannot afford to travel to get an abortion, who cannot afford to raise a child or those who have been raped or the victims of incest?" Raddatz asked.
