Florida Senate candidates Sen. Marco Rubio (R) and Rep. Val Demings (D) took turns taking jabs at one another on abortion on Tuesday during a debate, three weeks ahead of the election.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said his Democratic opponent would put the interests of her party first, instead of Floridians on 'Hannity.'became heated Tuesday as the two candidates in the race – incumbent GOP Sen. Marco Rubio and Democrat Rep. Val Demings – took turns taking jabs at one another over their views on abortion.
"Senator, how gullible do you really think Florida voters are," Demings responded."You have been clear that you support no exceptions, even including rape and incest. Now as a police detective who investigated cases of rape and incest, no, senator, I don't think it's okay for a ten-year-old girl to be raped and have to carry the seed of her rapist. No, I don't think it's okay for you to get to make decisions for women and girls as a senator.
Demings, who currently represents Florida's 10th Congressional District and served as Orlando police chief from 2007 to 2011, said she"supports a woman's right to choose up until the time of viability." "Every law I've ever passed has exceptions," Rubio said."We're never gonna get a vote on a law that doesn't have exceptions cause that's where the majority of the American people are and I respect and understand that."
