Fox Guest Claims Dems Support Post-Birth Abortions

“We’re not talking about 40 years ago. Today’s Democrats are advocating for the right to have an abortion beyond the birth of the child. And most Americans would say, ‘That’s not something that sits well with me.’

“And, so for Democrats to go out on the campaign trail if they want to put all their eggs in this basket and have the conversation about a much more aggressive — much more aggressive conversation about this issue, I think that will be at their own political peril.

“It’s so far out of step with what most Americans feel on this sensitive issue.” – Cassie Smedile, executive director of America Rising pro-Trump PAC, this afternoon on Fox News.

When asked to provide proof of her claim, Smedile cited a 2019 interview with then-Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, who was actually referring to third trimester abortions done in order to save the life of the mother.
