 In our second debate tonight, District 10A State Representative DFL candidate Quinn Nystrom and Republican incumbent Josh Heinzman debated several topics including the issue of abortion. This is an issue that a lot of greater Minnesota candidates wind up agreeing on and that's because across greater Minnesota the vast majority of folks are pro-life and I think it's a very significant difference between what you're capable to accomplish as a legislator as a Republican or as a Democrat and as a Republican I know when I go to St. Paul that those same values that I have and that my constituents have on this issue are going to be supported by my leadership and by my party. I've always been pro-life I have not moved my stance on that I believe in the sanctity of life I've fought for life and to me and when I've looked at Citus Six is actually one in three Minnesotans who are Democrats are pro-life and so I don't believe that I answer to the Democratic party at the end of the day I answer to the constituents in District 10A and you know when you're asking me my personal opinion on that specific issue that's my personal opinion.
