Sanders simply stated, “Being a human being.”

While much of the candidates’ time was spent discussing differences in how they would approach issues such as student debt and health care, the forum also touched on areas where they agree, notably including abortion rights.
Baeir asked both candidates whether they believe there should be time restrictions on when a woman can legally have an abortion. Clinton stated that “under Roe v. Wade, which is rooted in the Constitution, women have the right to make this highly personal decision with their family in accordance with their doctor.” But, she argued, “it’s not really a right” if it’s filled with constraints.
Sanders agreed, though his response was a bit more direct.
“I happen to believe that it is wrong for the government to be telling a woman what to do with her own body,” he said, eliciting applause from the audience. “I am very strongly pro-choice. That is a decision to be made by the woman, her physician and her family.”
Sanders was similarly straightforward when discussing his belief in the health care as a universal human right. Asked where his understanding of that right came from, Sanders simply stated, “Being a human being.”
