Detroit in Black and White: Carl Marlinga Hopes to Beat John James This Time

Published | Video Starts at 43:15

And so I think that that's a key issue right away, is that he's shown an insensitivity to our primary issue, which is clean water in the Great Lakes. I also think that, again, he's waffled on abortion. He had said that he was 100% pro life, meaning no exceptions for rape or incest. Then he changed that, and now he's voted again for a national ban on abortion. And he also voted against the drug, which should be available everywhere in the United States. He voted to Bandaiden, the early abortion drug. (43:15–43:30)

CLAIM
