On abortion, Lawler’s stance — what he calls his “commonsense, mainstream position” — hasn’t changed, according to his campaign website. Lawler believes that the right to abortion should be reserved to a tiny subset of American women: those who face “serious health issues” when pregnant or are the victims of rape or incest….
He faces Jones, who supports a federal law that would enshrine the abortion rights once protected by Roe v. Wade in all 50 states. At a press conference on Aug. 8 in Nanuet, Jones said that Lawler’s record in the state Assembly and in Congress indicate he wants to make it more difficult for women to obtain abortions — whether in the U.S. military or by supporting the rights of states to limit abortion access.
