MN-HD26A: GOP House candidate from Winona says he's open to an abortion ban at '5 or 6 weeks'

[RandySF]

A Republican candidate for the Minnesota House said he believes abortion should be limited, and expressed openness to abortion bans after the 5th or 6th week of pregnancy — before many women know they’re pregnant — according to a recording obtained by the Reformer.

Aaron Repinski is a Winona business owner and city council member running against DFL candidate Sarah Kruger to fill the seat vacated by DFL Rep. Gene Pelowski, an anti-abortion Democrat who retired this year after serving in the Legislature for 38 years.

During a side conversation at a town hall for GOP Senate candidate Royce White, Repinski said there should be stricter limits on abortion. Repinski’s campaign manager said the candidate was unaware he was being recorded.

“I don’t know what the exact time frame is, but there needs to be a compromise and a conversation from both sides, and so maybe it is 5 to 6 weeks — I don’t know,” Repinski said.
