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.”

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

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

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

 @Honorable2014Libertarian from Florida disagreed…2wks2W

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

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

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

 @LibertarianPaellaConstitution from Florida commented…2wks2W

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.

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

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…2wks2W

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?
