"The Republican nominee for Pennsylvania governor once said that if women violated an abortion ban, they should be charged with murder.

State Sen. Doug Mastriano made the comment as part of an interview with a Pennsylvania radio station in 2019, according to NBC News. Mastriano, who had sponsored a bill that would ban abortion as early as six weeks into pregnancy, was asked about a hypothetical woman who had an abortion at 10 weeks’ gestation.

“Would that woman who decided to have an abortion, which would be considered an illegal abortion, be charged with murder?” the interviewer asked.

“OK, let’s go back to the basic question there,” Mastriano said. “Is that a human being? Is that a little boy or girl? If it is, it deserves equal protection under the law.”
