Trump Rambles About Abortion In Fox News Interview
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Donald Trump said “it’s a beautiful thing to watch” states enact different abortion restrictions during a Fox News interview on Wednesday, during which he also repeated several lies about abortion policy. “But the people are deciding and in many ways, it’s a beautiful thing to watch.” The former president also repeated a myth about abortion care later in pregnancy, telling Hannity that Democrats are OK with abortion in the eighth and ninth months and “even after birth.” “Everybody knows that in the eighth month and the ninth month and beyond that — hard to believe, they have some states passing legislation where you can execute the baby after birth,” Trump said. “Just look at what he called ‘a beautiful thing’: women denied care and being turned away from emergency rooms, victims of rape and incest forced to travel hundreds of miles for abortion care, doctors criminalized for providing care to their patients.” Emilia Rowland, National Press Secretary for the DNC, also criticized Trump for his remarks, listing off some of the scenarios abortion restrictions have caused. “Donald Trump thinks it’s ‘beautiful’ that a 13-year-old rape victim was forced to carry the pregnancy due to Mississippi’s abortion ban; that a young woman in Texas almost died because doctors were afraid to treat her; and that a Florida woman was turned away from the emergency room and lost roughly half her blood in a single day after experiencing a miscarriage,” Rowland said.
