Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : "If you believe that the choice of your reproductive freedom belongs to Dr. Oz, then you have a choice," Fetterman said, contrasting his views with his opponent, who opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest or the mother's health and has said he wants it restricted but not criminalized.
42% : Fetterman, however, dodged questions on whether he would support any restrictions on abortion, including in later trimesters.
40% : Fetterman, he said, was a "radical" who wouldn't be budget conscious and would raise taxes.
40% : He repeatedly claimed Oz wanted to cut Social Security and Medicare, which Oz said was a baseless allegation.
37% : "Any bill that violates what I said, which is the federal government interfering with a state rule on abortion, I would vote against," Oz eventually acknowledged.
21% : The moderators continually followed up with Oz on whether he would support South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham's proposal to institute a nationwide ban on abortion, with limited exceptions, after 15 weeks.
