This is a political decision made by the narrowest of margins and done to satisfy an even narrower constituency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you support any limitation on abortion or do you think that women should have the right to have an abortion all the way up to nine months?\u201d MacCallum asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe an abortion is a medical decision,\u201d Abrams responded. \u201cI believe that should be a choice made between a doctor and a woman and in consultation with her family. But I think the challenge that we have is that we keep putting this in a political space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MacCallum later asked \u201cat what point do you start to care about the life of that baby?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I would say is that it is a medical decision,\u201d Abrams responded. \u201cI don\u2019t know of a single woman who reaches the stage where this decision is easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Stacey Abrams supports NO LIMITS on abortion. <\/p>\n<p>Q: \u201cDo you support any limitation on abortion?
