Democratic 2024 presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made his stance on abortion clear during a recent campaign stop.
Kennedy was in Iowa this weekend for the State Fair, as were other presidential candidates. He took questions from NBC News, which included the topic of abortion.“I believe a decision to abort a child should be up to the women during the first three months of life,” Kennedy told the outlet.
He confirmed that meant signing a federal ban at 15 or 21 weeks. “Once a child is viable, outside the womb, I think then the state has an interest in protecting the child,” Kennedy said. “I’m for medical freedom. Individuals are able to make their own choices.” Kennedy is facing off against President Joe Biden and author Marianne Williamson for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Biden commemorated the anniversary of the Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which removed the federal protection of the procedure, by listing the"actions to protect access to reproductive health" the administration had engaged in over the year. Meanwhile, Williamson promises on her website that she"would vigorously resist any effort to restrict, limit, or diminish the reproductive rights and freedoms granted by Roe v. Wade.
This is Kennedy's first political campaign despite his late father's political history as a senator and presidential candidate. Williamson last ran in 2020.
