Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
ABC News host Linsey Davis inserted herself into the debate on the question of abortion, offering a “fact check” of Trump’s comments about the Democratic Party supporting no protections for babies born alive after abortions.
“There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born,” she said matter-of-factly. The problem is that Davis did not get her facts right. Trump referenced during his answer the infamous by former Gov. Ralph Northam , who said the following about babies born alive after surviving an abortion: “If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable.
This is a relatively simple fact to check. Davis jumped in not to “fact check” but to make a political point, which is part of why the network made abortion the second debate topic. This is the network putting its finger on the scale in the 2024 election, which, while expected, is still partisan politicking thinly disguised as “fact-checking.”
