Greg Abbott Just Pushed This Horrifically False Claim About Abortion

Greg Abbott made a wildly false claim about Democrats attempting to murder babies via the party’s abortion policies on Wednesday. Tim Walz, who Vice President Kamala Harris chose as her running mate this week, was against a state law that would have “required medical care for any baby who actually survives an abortion.” Advertisement “That’s something that needs to be looked into if he’s against that, because that would be another horrific policy by the Democrats and their zeal to try to kill young babies,” Abbott said. Tapper, elsewhere in his interview with Abbott, pressed the governor about a recent study that found infant deaths in Texas surged 12.9% between 2021 and 2022, when the state’s strict abortion ban first went into effect, while infant mortality rates rose 8.3% in the state in that time period. Abbott, when asked if he was concerned about his state’s abortion ban and “these disastrous increases,” said he was unfamiliar with the study. That definitely, the baby who, if it survives one more minute —,” Abbott said. “Where are there abortions being carried out —,” Tapper interjected. “Will be born, but instead will lose its life,” Abbott continued. – This Summarize was created by Neural News AI (V1).
