Former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, who is challenging President Trump for the 2020 Republican presidential nomination, said Saturday that the government should not interfere with a woman's right to an abortion.
The way I look at it, its kind of a power issue, Weld said while campaigning in New Hampshire, according to The Associated Press. And who wants a lot of big, fat, white guys who live in Washington 700 miles away making the decision about whats going to happen about a family pregnancy where the family has basis for some views and maybe wants to terminate the pregnancy.
Weld reportedly added that he felt "terrible" about the passage of laws that place further restrictions on abortion. He also said that he's the most pro-choice person youre ever going to meet," the AP noted, a stance that breaks with much of the Republican Party.
Weld's comments come amid increasing scrutiny on states that have passed laws that curtail a woman's ability to receive an abortion. Last week, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) signed into law the most restrictive abortion policy in the nation.

Well, I feel terrible that Weld is a Republican. Unfortunately, I feel terrible that lots of Republicans are AntiTrump Republicans.
(It's a Massachusetts thing, right?)
Hell, I feel terrible about murder.
Would it not be grand if we could simply line up all those who support this genocide...
...and end it.
He doesnt sound very Republican....
