Democratic U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas' position on abortion is clear. He had already voted in favor of codifying the rights that previously existed under the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision.
"We need to guarantee at the national level that no judge, no politician should get in the way of a woman seeking care," Pappas said.
Candidates seeking the Republican nomination to face Pappas in November were split on the issue.
When asked whether they would vote in favor of legislation to restrict abortion at the federal level, Tim Baxter was the only unambiguous yes. He said that, if elected, he would co-sponsor a constitutional amendment to ban abortion nationwide.
