Last night the NAACP tried to ‘fact check’ President Trump while the debate was happening in reference to his comments on abortion up to birth.
Here’s what they said:
For the record: You cannot have an abortion in the 9th month. You cannot have an abortion after birth. If we didn’t keep banning books, maybe we wouldn’t have to clear that up. #Debate2024

But this is completely not true and Tony Dungy hit back at them today with the truth:
In Florida we will be voting on Amendment 4 this November that would take all limits off the timing of an abortion. If it passes we would become the 10th state where that type of late term abortion would be legal. Please don’t distort the facts to make a point. https://t.co/tNpqDzxOMa

He’s absolutely right. Let me show you the text of Amendment 4:
No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider. This amendment does not change the Legislature’s constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion.
“…before viability” means before the point when a baby can survive outside the womb. In other words there is no limit, just as Dungy says.
I love Dungy’s responses to his critics:
Not according to the language of Amendment 4 in Florida. It was written very deceptively.

That last one was awesome.
Patrick Madrid also pointed out the truth to the NAACP today, linkin to an article from Axios that indicates 7 states as having NO LIMITS on abortion and 19 states having abortions up to the point of ‘viability’. Here’s a screenshot from the article that makes it clear:
