Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/guardianwiressub Oz said there should be no federal involvement on abortion and that the decision should be left to 'women, doctors, local political leaders'. Fetterman however said if elected he would 'fight to re-establish Roe v Wade'. Fetterman added: 'I've always believed the choice should be with women and their doctors; [Oz] believes the choice should be with him or Republican legislatures across this nation.' Fetterman also said he was happy to serve if his doctor believed he was fit to do so. He said 'to me, transparency is all about showing up. I'm here today to have a debate.' One of Mehmet Oz's campaign aides targeted Fetterman's early stroke, saying he would have been fit if he had 'ever eaten a vegetable in his life'.
