Tim Walz Confirms He Supports Abortions Up To Birth

In a Wednesday appearance on CBS News, Walz was asked if he and Vice President Kamala Harris would support “any limits on abortion, including limiting third-trimester abortions.” The Democratic governor replied, “Look, the vice president’s been very clear, making sure that we restore the right of Roe v. Wade, making sure that women and their health care providers — because these services are health care — making sure those decisions are made in the best interests of the health of the mother.”...

In September’s presidential debate between Harris and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, the vice president claimed that third-trimester and late-term abortions do not happen. “Nowhere in America is a woman carrying a pregnancy to term and asking for an abortion. That is not happening,” Harris said. However, 21 states allow abortion up until birth, including Minnesota, where Walz himself signed a law legalizing abortion up until birth and removing a reporting requirement that would have tracked how many babies survive an abortion and are left to die. Prior to his removal of the reporting requirements, at least eight children survived abortions and were left to die in Walz’s Minnesota.
