On abortion, Stauber, Schultz vary widely

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Additionally, the Women's Health Protection Act of 2022, which had the support of President Biden and House Speaker Pelosi, would prevent states from restricting abortion before fetal viability but would allow states to restrict health care providers from providing abortions after fetal viability only if there's an exception for the patient's life or health, according to the bill summary.
47% : A fact check by the Washington Post called Republican claims of Democratic support of abortion "up to the moment of birth" were "disingenuous at best" because abortions so late in a pregnancy were rare and "when they do happen, they often involve painful, emotional and even moral decisions."
42% : Stauber, who in June said the U.S. Supreme Court correctly ended federal abortion rights by giving states the decision-making power on abortion, is co-sponsoring a bill that would nationally ban abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
42% : "Abortion still may be needed for certain medical procedures."
38% :And once in the House, he co-sponsored a bill that would have made it a crime for a doctor to perform an abortion if the fetus has a detectable heartbeat and he voted against bills that would have brought back federal protection for abortion, effectively codifying Roe.
38% : But now he's one of 84 Republicans to co-sponsor the House's version of the bill that would federally ban abortion after 15 weeks.
37% : The News Tribune last month asked Stauber why he would support a federal bill to restrict abortion when he previously said it should be dealt with at the state level.
36% : But he hasn't been consistent on what role the federal government should play in restricting abortion.
24% : Eli Mansour, Stauber's spokesperson, sent a statement in response: "Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi have done nothing to stop the extreme position of abortion until birth, which a majority of Americans do not support.
