“Concepts of a plan”: Trump is criticized for having no idea what he is doing

“Your vice presidential pick, which I think is a terrible pick for our country because he's really intransigent, but your vice presidential pick says abortion in the ninth month is absolutely fine,” Trump said. said“He also says that 'post-birth execution' – execution, no more abortion because the baby is born – is OK. And that's not OK with me. Hence the vote.”

Not a single state in the country allows what Republicans call postnatal abortion, also known as infanticide.

Trump has worked in the weeks leading up to the debate to tone down his anti-choice position in order to appeal to women's rights activists and attract more voters to his campaign. But the practical effects of his presidency are still evident, not least the introduction of a hyper-conservative Supreme Court that Roe v. Wadefor which Trump proudly takes credit. In 2023, the former president also claimed he should be celebrated for every single state abortion ban.
