They argue over equal pay for women, contraception insurance coverage, healthcare costs, trade with China, cost of living, immigration, security in Libya, and assault weapon bans. Romney suggests poverty and single parent households breed violence. Obama challenges Romney's position and his endorsement by the NRA. Romney says regulation has crushed small business.
