On The View today, Meghan McCain asked Amy Klobuchar if she supports late-term abortions and here’s how that went:
Klobuchar simply wouldn’t say that she’s opposed to late-term abortions, even refusing to admit she knew what Ralph Northam said about it last year. We all know that isn’t true.
The only thing she would concede amounts to a slogan, that she is for a woman having the right to make a choice about her own body. Super Lame.
And of course Joyless Behar ran to Klobuchar’s defense, arguing that third-trimester abortions are rare and therefore it’s a phony issue. But that simply isn’t true.
Certainly late-term abortions are more rare than first and second trimester abortions, but as Live Action points out, almost 8,300 children every year are aborted in the third trimester:
In 2015, the CDC reported that 1.3 percent of abortions were committed at 21 weeks’ gestation and later. While 1.3 percent sounds very small, this equates to nearly 8,300 preborn children killed late-term every single year.
That is not rare in the least.
I fail to understand Klobchar’s reluctance in stating emphatically that she supports women aborting their babies up to birth. It’s all the rage on the left and she should just readily admit it so she doesn’t get left behind by voters looking for more radical candidates.
