​Dem Debate: Castro: Government Should Fund Abortions For Transgender Men

     2020 Democrat presidential candidate Julian Castro said during NBC's Democrat debate on Thursday if he was elected president, which he won't be, the government would fund abortions for transgender men.

     An NBC News moderator asked Castro, "Would your [health] plan cover abortion, Mr. Secretary?"

    "Yes, it would. I don’t believe only in reproductive freedom, I believe in reproductive justice," Castro said. 

    "And, you know, what that means is that just because a woman — or let’s also not forget someone in the trans community, a trans female, is poor, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have the right to exercise that right to choose. And so I absolutely would cover the right to have an abortion," he added.
