RIGHT NOW. THE HIGH HOUSING COST PROBLEM. NEXT QUESTION FROM MONICA HERNANDEZ. NOW ALL OF YOU HAVE SAID THAT YOU BELIEVE THE ABORTION ISSUE SHOULD BE DECIDED AT THE STATE LEVEL AND YOU WOULD VOTE ACCORDINGLY IN WASHINGTON. BUT RESTRICTING ABORTION HAS BEEN PART OF THE REPUBLICAN AGENDA FOR DECADES. SO IF YOU ARE PART OF A GOP MAJORITY AND YOU'RE PRESSURED TO VOTE FOR FEDERAL ABORTION RESTRICTIONS, HOW WILL YOU REACT? MR. HAMLIN? THIS QUESTION GOES FIRST TO YOU. WELL, LET ME START WITH THIS. YOU KNOW, AS THE FATHER OF TWO DAUGHTERS, AGED 20 AND 22, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE TALK ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF RESPECT, COMPASSION AND EMPATHY FOR THE WITH THE YOUNG WOMEN INVOLVED HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, WE HAVE A SIX MONTH ABORTION LIMIT WITH LATE. TERM ABORTION RESTRICTIONS WITH VERY REASONABLE EXCEPTIONS. AND I THINK THAT'S A COMMON SENSE CONSENSUS THAT I FULLY SUPPORT. YOU KNOW, NOW, I AGREE WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT IT IS FUNDAMENTALLY A STATES RIGHTS ISSUE. IT'S RIGHT FOR CALIFORNIA IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT'S RIGHT FOR SOUTH DAKOTA. AND HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, WE HAVE A CONSENSUS NOW WHEN IT COMES TO ME GOING TO WASHINGTON, I WOULD NOT ADVOCATE FOR ANYTHING MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN WHAT WE HAVE HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. WE HAVE A COMMONSENSE CONSENSUS THAT I FULLY SUPPORT, AND I WOULD TAKE THOSE NEW HAMPSHIRE VALUES TO WASHINGTON WITH ME TO REPRESENT THEE PEOPLE OF THE SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT AND MISS WILLIAMS, IF YOU ARE PART OF A GOP MAJORITY AND YOU'RE PRESSURED TO VOTE FOR FEDERAL ABORTION RESTRICTIONS, HOW WOULD YOU REACT? WELL, I HAVE SAID REPEATEDLY THIS IS A STATE ISSUE AND I SUPPORT GIVING BACK TO THE STATE BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECIDE EVERYTHING WE LOVE LOCAL CONTROL AND AND THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ACTUALLY TOOK SOME PERSONAL RISKS TO GIVE BACK TO THE STATE. AND WE CAN DECIDE THROUGH THE MOST GRASSROOTS DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT HERE. BUT PERSONALLY, I WILL NOT VOTE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL AT ALL FOR BETWEEN OR AGAINST, BECAUSE WHENEVER YOU CHANGE A PARTY MAJORITY, IT'S GO BACK TO SQUARE ONE FIGHTING AGAIN AND THE DEMOCRATS ALWAYS WANT TO USE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO MANDATE STUFF. THEY TALK ABOUT DEMOCRACY AND THE PEOPLE AT OUR LOCAL LEVEL TO DECIDE. BUT I WANT TO SHOW COMPASSION TOWARDS BOTH LIVES INVOLVED ON THIS ISSUE. A WOMAN AND AN UNBORN BABY WHO HAVE NO VOICE. AND I THINK THAT WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING THROUGH PRIVATE CHARITY TO PROMOTE LIFE, HELP WOMEN TO CHOOSE LIFE. I'M PROUD TO SAY I'M A MONTHLY DONOR TO PREGNANCY CENTERS, $1,000 A YEAR. YOU CAN SAVE A WOMAN AND HER BABY AND HOPE THAT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WE WILL DO MORE OFTEN AS PRIVATE CHARITY LEVEL AND MR. CHAIRMAN, IF YOU ARE PART OF A GOP MAJORITY AND YOU'RE PRESSURED TO VOTE FOR ABORTION RESTRICTIONS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, HOW WOULD YOU REACT IF. LOOK, I AGREE WITH THE NEW HAMPSHIRE LAW. I SUPPORT THE NEW HAMPSHIRE LAW. I THINK THE NEW HAMPSHIRE LAW IS RIGHT FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND AS A REPRESENTATIVE, THIS IS A JOB WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO SEND ME TO WASHINGTON TO REPRESENT THE SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT AND THE STATE'S BELIEFS AND WHAT WE HAVE COME TO. WE'VE COME TO THIS BELIEF THAT, YOU KNOW, RESTRICTIONS IN THE THIRD TRIMESTER WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS FOR THE MOTHER'S HEALTH AND FATAL FETAL ANOMALIES, IS APPROPRIATE. I WOULD REPRESENT THAT, AND I WOULD VOTE FOR THAT AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. IF IT CAME TO THAT, I WOULD NOT BE MORE RESTRICT
