No, Late-Term Abortions Don't 'Rip' Babies Out Of Wombs -- And They Exist For A Reasonhttps://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/tarahaelle/2016/10/20/no-late-term-abortions-dont-rip-babies-out-of-wombs-but-they-are-needed/amp/
....Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump faced off on the question of abortion. And it quickly became painfully obvious that the only person on stage, including the moderator, who knew much about women’s health was the woman.

At last, in Wednesday night’s debate, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump faced off on the question of abortion. And it quickly became painfully obvious that the only person on stage, including the moderator, who knew much about women’s health was the woman.
When Chris Wallace asked Clinton why she had “voted against a ban on late-term, partial-birth abortions,” Clinton’s immediate response correctly pointed out that “Roe v. Wade very clearly sets out that there can be regulations on abortion so long as the life and the health of the mother are taken into account.”
But from there, the ensuing conversation revealed both Wallace’s and Trump’s ignorance about these procedures.

.....But the inaccuracies started before Trump even responded: Wallace’s question was problematic right out of the gate because of the term he used. “Partial birth” is a political, not medical, term, and it does not refer to all late-term abortions. .....

“The kinds of cases that fall at the end of pregnancy are often the most heartbreaking, painful decisions for families to make,” Clinton said at the debate. “I have met with women who toward the end of their pregnancy get the worst news one could get, that their health is in jeopardy if they continue to carry to term or that something terrible has happened or just been discovered about the pregnancy. I do not think the United States government should be stepping in and making those most personal of decisions.”
.......Clinton’s deep understanding of this issue and lived experience with other women reveals the importance of having more women in politics. The more Clintons and Wendy Davises that are in office, the more likely it is that abortion and women’s reproductive policies actually reflect women’s experiences and the data on them.

Three years later, he's still spewing the same shit.
He's picking at every scab, wound, and scar...AGAIN. The same talking points and lies AGAIN.
I want off this train...
