5th Congressional District candidates weigh in on SCOTUS abortion ruling

Incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Jahana Hayes is trying to win her third term in the 5th District. Republican George Logan is looking to unseat her.  While he lives in the 3rd district, there is no residency requirement.  Yesterday the candidates took up the issue of abortion and the U-S Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade.  Both say they are pro-choice. Logan wants some restrictions and parental notifications for teen patients.  Hayes says timing and other decisions should be between a woman and her doctor.  The remarks by Hayes came during a visit to a Planned Parenthood health center in Waterbury with U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. He noted that states accepting Medicaid funding are required to cover emergency care services which could include abortions.
