ABC News moderator Linsey Davis quickly fact-checked the Republican nominee: “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born.”
Trump’s claim is one that anti-abortion activists have launched before. His assertion originates from a quote taken out of context from former Virginia governor Ralph Northam in 2019 — definitely not West Virginia as Trump said.
Northam was giving a hypothetical example of what could happen if a pregnant person whose fetus was not viable requested an abortion while in labor.
Anti-abortion activists have used the so-called concept of “after-birth abortions” to paint loose abortion laws as radical. But there is no state where a baby can be legally killed after birth.
Harris reiterated to the former president that his assertion was false and “insulting to the women of America.”
During his rambling stump speech in Arizona, Trump lashed out at ABC’s Davis and her co-moderator David Muir claiming he was unfairly treated and that they were biased toward Harris for fact-checking his lies.
