Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said at a New Hampshire forum on Saturday that it is "absolutely essential" for Democrats to be pro-choice on abortion.

The presidential candidate was speaking at the "Our Rights, Our Courts" forum, hosted by pro-choice groups Demand Justice, Center for Reproductive Rights, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and All* Above All Action Fund. MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle asked Sanders if he believed it was possible to be pro-life and a Democrat.
