Van Jones: Does Abortion Issue Open Florida up for Dems? It’s an Important Issue to Keep Talking About

‘I think that this issue has to stay front and center, not for political reasons, but for human reasons’

EXCERPT:

JONES: "I think that Florida is tough for Democrats, but I think that this issue has to stay front and center, not for political reasons, but for human reasons as these stories just pile up and pile up of -- you know, heartbreaking stories of women whose lives are being risked, whose health is being risked, who have to travel far away just to have basic health care. That really shouldn‘t be happening in this country. There should be a baseline of rights and respect for women‘s autonomy that has been torn away because Donald Trump packed the courts with people who don‘t care about women‘s rights or bodies. And so, that is going to have to become a centerpiece. Does it open Florida up for us to somehow win in that state? I don‘t know if it does or doesn‘t, but it‘s going to be an important issue on the ballot in Florida and I think we gotta keep talking about it."
