RFK Jr. says he supports abortion 'even if it's full term'
Fox News
2024 presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was grilled by podcast host Sage Steele about his abortion stance and whether he supported any limits.
"I have been probably one of the leading, arguably one of the leading people in this country for medical freedom and for bodily autonomy," Kennedy told Steele. "I think with abortion, every abortion is a tragedy. Many of them leave permanent trauma on the woman. But I think, ultimately, I don't trust government to have jurisdiction over people's bodies. I think we need to leave it to the woman, her pastor and to, you know, her spiritual advisors or physician, whatever, to make those decisions." Joseph A.

After teasing his policy plan to combat the number of abortions in the US, Kennedy clashed with Steele over late-term abortions, insisting they're extremely rare and that there are usually "extenuating circumstances" behind those decisions.
