Donald Trump Claims Roe v. Wade Let Women ‘Kill the Baby After Birth’
Donald Trump falsely claimed that Roe v. Wade “literally” allowed women to “kill the baby after birth,” RadarOnline.com can report.
In a surprising development after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos have the same rights as people, the former president appeared for an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity.
Trump and Hannity discussed the Alabama Supreme Court’s recent ruling and its consequences for couples using in vitro fertilization to start and build their families. Their discussion then turned to abortion.
“You took a strong stand on IVF,” the Hannity host said on Thursday. “Where are you on that, and what is your message to other candidates, and where are you on abortion?”
“So I saw the IVF and a judge in Alabama made a very harsh decision,” Trump responded. “It was very, very tough, and I came out immediately and I said we want to help women.”
“This is fertilization, this is they’re having a hard time having a baby, to put it very simply, and they are helped by clinics and others,” the ex-president continued. “And all of a sudden it was stopped in Alabama, and I put out a very strong statement that we’re totally in favor of it.”
“We want that, we want people to help, we are on the side of women,” Trump added while alluding to a conversation he shared with GOP Senator Katie Britt of Alabama. “Same thing on the abortion issue.”
While the former president admitted that he was for “exceptions” when it came to the need for abortions, he also slammed Roe v. Wade alleging landmark court ruling gave women “the right to kill the baby after birth.”
“I think it’s a very important thing the exceptions,” Trump explained on the episode of Hannity. “I also think that they are the radicals, because they will kill the baby in eight months, nine months.”
“Under Roe v. Wade, they had the right to kill the baby after birth,” the former president added. “I mean, literally, after birth in some cases.”
