RFK Jr. Confirms He Supports Abortions Up to Birth: “Even if It’s Full Term”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in an interview released Wednesday that he would allow women to have abortions at full term if that was their choice, the latest answer he has given on abortion policy — and one that provoked a surprised reaction from his running mate.

During an interview he was asked:

“Should there be a limit or are you saying all the way up to full term, a woman has a right to have an abortion?” s

Kennedy answered that he doesn't think anyone would want to do that at eight months of pregnancy, but abortion should be out of the hands of the government and in the hands of women.

“Even if it’s full-term,” Kennedy said in response to a follow-up question. “I don’t think it’s ever OK,” he added. When Steele said that would allow late-term abortions, Kennedy said, “I think we have to leave it to the women rather than the state.”

There goes the slim chance he had of getting my vote.

 @Honorable2014Libertarian from Florida  disagreed…1yr1Y

Read the article, not the headline.

He never says that.

Also, consider the source.

What he said is that it should be up to the mother and father, not the state which is Libertarian position

 @RadiantReferendumRepublican from Texas  commented…1yr1Y

This is the only thing keeping Kennedy from receiving more votes, he needs to re-evaluate this.

 @TranquilL3ftyConstitution from Illinois  commented…1yr1Y

And regardless of how passionately he rails against vaccines… THAT is a deal killer for pretty much all conservatives.

How does the concept of personal freedom versus societal or ethical responsibilities influence your thoughts on late-term abortion?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

If you had the power, at what point, if any, would you limit the ability to have an abortion, and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

In what ways do you think the government should be involved, if at all, in personal health decisions like abortion?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Considering RFK Jr.'s stance on full-term abortions, do you believe there should be any legal or ethical boundaries set on abortion timing?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How do you feel about the idea that decisions on late-term abortions should be solely in the hands of the woman, not the government?

 @LibertarianPaellaConstitution from Florida  commented…1yr1Y

If ur someone who wants this country to improve people will bite their political pride and break this 2 party issue this country has. I can disagree with him here but he’s by far the best option.

Biden will issue a pardon of his son Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has decided to issue a pardon for his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night, according to a senior White House official with direct knowledge of the decision.The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. The pardon comes ahead of Hunter Biden’s Dec. 12 sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also is set to be sentenced in a separate criminal case on Dec. 16, after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.The pardon is expected to cover both Hunter Biden’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea.The senior White House official said Biden decided over this weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to inform his senior aides on Sunday. Using his pardon power to assure Hunter Biden does not spend time in jail comes as the 82-year-old president is near the end of his term in the White House and has no future election to face. In recent months Biden has said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence.“I will not pardon him,” the president said of his son in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.President Biden has discussed issuing a pardon for his son with some of his closest aides since at least Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter said. They said a decision was made at the time for the president to publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier this month that the president’s position has not changed.
