Earlier we showed you part of a clip from NBC Reporter Dasha Burns interviewing Governor DeSantis on abortion, where she accused him of misrepresenting the positions of Democrats on the issue of abortion all the way to birth.
Now we have the rest of the clip and it’s beyond clear that Burns doesn’t know what she’s talking about:
Here's more of the exchange b/w @RonDeSantis and NBC's @DashaBurns in which she repeatedly lies about where Democrats stand, insisting it's a "misrepresentation" & there's "no evidence" they want late-term abortions.
DeSantis cites states like CA, but Burns says it's not true. pic.twitter.com/LDF59YWfgS

As Courtis Houck deftly pointed out this morning, Colorado, Maine, & New York have all expanded abortion all the way to live birth.
He gives the links to the articles about the expansions:
Here the new law Maine Democratic Gov. Janet Mills signed last week. From the AP: "The bill would allow abortions at any time if deemed medically necessary by a doctor." https://t.co/FXNa6tX8Gf

Here's Colorado from last year (h/t: @xan_desanctis): "The law appears to guarantee a right to any form of abortion at any stage of pregnancy for any reason[.]"https://t.co/iYd8mcbaN0

And here was New York in 2019: "The new law, signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday, safeguards rights laid out in Roe v. Wade and other court rulings, including a provision permitting late-term abortions when a woman's health is endangered." https://t.co/iFr35staSq

In California it’s the same way as Maine and New York. Here’s what Planned Parenthood says about California abortions:
Abortion is legal in California, both for teens and adults. You have the right to get an abortion for any reason until approximately 6 months after you become pregnant. After that, if the pregnancy puts your health or life at risk you can still get an abortion.
I’m sure doctors in these leftist states take a very liberal approach to the ‘woman’s health is endangered’ caveat, especially considering how doctors quickly recommend abortions when they think something is wrong with the baby.
But back to the point. Democrats have now taken pains to ensure a woman has access to abortion all the way up to live birth and it’s ridiculous that Dasha Burns doesn’t know this. I tell you, she’s gone a long way from the reporter who was refreshingly honest about her exchanges with John Fetterman. Now she just sounds like another garbage media hack reporter.
