Former President Trump sparred with moderator Linsey Davis over claims Democrats are 'extreme' on abortion, citing former Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's past comments
During Tuesday’s debate, former President Trump sought to delineate his and other Republicans' pro-life viewpoints with that of Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party, while sparring with moderator Linsey Davis. Davis asked, 'Why should trust' him on the abortion issue when he has changed his view on some aspects of it at times.
While appearing to accidentally refer to Northam as the previous governor of West Virginia, who would be Democrat Earl Ray Tomblin, Trump said the opposition party wants to allow abortions into the ninth month of gestation and even after birth. 'Look at , not the current governor who is doing an excellent job, but the governor before him, who said, ‘The baby will be born, and we will decide what to do with the baby.’ In other words, we’ll execute the baby,' Trump said.
Northam, who was also a pediatrician in Onancock, Va., added that if a mother is in labor, the infant would 'be delivered kept comfortable.' 'The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.
