Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK) stated during a recent interview that women should have the right to get abortions right up until the moment of birth.
The announcement sent shockwaves throughout the pro-life community, with users dubbing the admission as yet another reason to not vote for the presidential hopeful.
Kennedy said “every abortion is a tragedy” at the onset of his conversation on the issue with Sage Steele. “Many of them leave permanent trauma on a woman.”
“But I think, ultimately, I don’t trust government to have a jurisdiction over people’s bodies,” RFK added. “I think we should leave it to the woman, her pastor, and y’know, her spiritual advisers or her physician or whatever to make those decisions.”
“I don’t think any woman has ever, ever in history, has said ‘I’m going to have a baby — I’m going to get pregnant and carry that baby to eight months of term and then I’m going to terminate the pregnancy,’” he continued.
“I don’t think anybody wants to do that,” RFK explained. “I don’t trust the state and I think we need to trust the woman.”
RFK was ripped online for his statement, with TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk dubbing it a commitment to “China-style full-term abortion.”
Sean Feucht also weighed in on RFK’s remarks, posting, “No Bible-believing, Jesus-following Christian should come remotely close to endorsing this guy for President.”
Steele then prompted RFK to clarify, asking him, “So in other words, keeping it as is, with Roe v. Wade having been overturned and leaving it up to the states to determine if and when a woman can have an abortion?”
RFK responded, “I wouldn’t leave it to the states. I believe we should leave it to the woman, we shouldn’t have government involved.”
“Even if it’s full term,” Steele pressed, to which RFK confirmed, “Even if it’s full term.”
The clip circulated social media on Thursday, with RFK receiving flack over his stance on the topic of abortion.
Resist The Mainstream shared earlier this week another PR nightmare for RFK after a shocking admission of his spread like wildfire online.
The New York Times reported that RFK received disturbing news while he was preparing for a hospital stay to undergo brain surgery for a tumor.
Doctors at another hospital suggested that the dark spots observed in his brain scans might be attributable to a worm rather than the tumor.
RFK disclosed to the Times in a 2012 deposition related to divorce proceedings that a physician at NY Presbyterian Hospital informed him of a deceased parasite within his cranial cavity.
He recounted in the deposition the doctor’s belief that the dark spot “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.”
RFK was blasted for the horrifying story, even though he claims he has fully recovered from the memory loss and fogginess, and has not encountered any lingering effects from the parasite, for which he did not undergo treatment.
“I didn’t have RFK Jr. brain worms on my bingo card today,” posted one user.
