Women's Rights: Where do Nick LaLota and John Avlon stand on reproductive rights?

1st District Matters

Women's rights are under scrutiny in a way they have not been in a generation. What is the federal government's role in protecting women's rights? Where do most Americans actually stand on the right to abortion?

Hear 1st District Republican Congressman Nick LaLota and Democratic congressional candidate John Avlon share their views on the issue in their own words, recorded in two separate panel interviews September 2024 at WLIW-FM studios in Southampton NY.

These recordings have been lightly edited without changing the content of the candidates' statements during the panel interviews. Editing of the candidates has occurred only where a music bed is heard, as well as minor editing of the moderators.

1st District Matters is part of Your Election 2024, a special collection of programs, series, and resources from The WNET Group to illuminate election issues on-air, online, and on YouTube leading into the November 5th elections.
