President Donald Trump on Saturday night repeated a stunning falsehood promoted by anti-abortion activists that doctors and mothers execute newborns.
During a rally hosted by his 2020 re-election campaign in Wisconsin, Trump made the egregious claim after asserting that Democrats are aggressively pushing extreme late-term abortion, allowing children to be ripped from their mothers womb right up until the moment of birth.
The baby is born, the mother meets with the doctor, they take care of the baby, they wrap the baby beautifully, and then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby, he said. I dont think so.
Its incredible, Trump said. And indeed it is in-credible.

There are no laws that allow doctors to perform executions. Rather, Republicans in North Carolina and Wisconsin have in recent months introduced legislation meant to highlight doctors conduct during and after late-term abortions, in the extremely rare cases that babies are born alive following an abortion attempt. Senate Democrats blocked a similar resolution from Republicans earlier this year.
Critics of the resolutions say theyre meant to discourage abortion access and make doctors look like executioners when in fact babies born alive following abortions are already afforded the same legal protections as anyone else.

(9,291 posts)this is homicide and both the doctor and the mother would be arrested. So do we need a homicide detective outside ever OB wards in hospitals in America?
Cause the answer is no.
