% ALSO TONIGHT, WHAT ISSUES ARE
% YOUNG PEOPLE SAYING ARE
% IMPORTANT TO THEM?
% AHEAD OF THE
% MIDTERM ELECTIONS?
% WE SPANNED OUT ACROSS THE STATE
% TO INTERVIEW STUDENTS INCLUDING
% THOSE FROM TWO PBS NEWS HOUR
% REPORTING LABS HIGH SCHOOLS.
% HERE'S A SAMPLING OF WHAT THEY
% TOLD US 3.
% >> THE MAIN ISSUES THAT MATTER
% TO ME ARE ABORTION RIGHTS, LGBTQ
% RIGHTS, AND PROBABLY GUN
% CONTROL.
% >> I MEAN, I THINK THERE ARE A
% LOT OF BIG ISSUES RIGHT NOW.
% I WOULD SAY THE THREE THAT
% MATTER TO ME THE MOST ARE THE
% ECONOMY, FOREIGN POLICY, AND
% PRIVACY.
% >> THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IS
% DEFINITELY GLOBAL WARMING.
% BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MATTER
% WHAT -- IF WE CAN VOTE OR WHO WE
% ARE IF THE PLANET IS DEAD.
% >> THE BIG ISSUE THAT IS VERY
% IMPORTANT TO ME IS WOMEN'S
% RIGHTS AND ESPECIALLY OVER A
% BODY, ESPECIALLY AT A TIME LIKE
% THIS WHEN OUR BODIES ARE BEING
% CONTROLLED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
% >> THE ISSUES HAS TO DO WITH THE
% COMMUNITY I'M A PART OF.
% ISSUES THAT SURROUND IMMIGRANTS
% AND PEOPLE OF COLOR AND LGBTQ
% ISSUES.
% >> SOME ISSUES THAT ARE
% IMPORTANT TO ME ARE CLIMATE
% CHANGE, OUR CHANGING ENVIRONMENT
% AND THE WORLD AROUND US.
% I BELIEVE ABORTION SHOULD BE A
% RIGHT AND BE PROTECTED FOR EVERY
% WOMAN REGARDLESS OF THE
% SITUATION.
% >> I THINK A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO
% CHOOSE IS VERY IMPORTANT.
% GUN CONTROL.
% TAXES.
% MEDICAL MARIJUANA.
% LEGALIZATION OR
% DECRIMINALIZATION OF DRUGS.
% BUT THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE FOR ME
% IS VOTING RIGHTS.
% JUST IN GENERAL ACROSS THE
% COUNTRY.
