RFK Jr is all over the place when it comes to abortion rights: 🔘June 2023 — only during the first three months of pregnancy, abortion should be allowed. 🔘August 2023 — supported a 15-week ban, but then his campaign said he misspoke 🔘March 2024 — abortion should be accessible to every woman throughout her pregnancy 🔘April 2024 — supports life, “all life is scared”, and has a new daycare plan to prevent abortions. To be funded using “money that we save on the Ukraine war” There’s more… 🧵
RFK Jr on abortion rights of the woman vs rights of the fetus: @RobertKennedyJr “At some point, it’s the mother‘s child and the baby cannot live outside of the womb, but shouldn’t that fetus have more rights after it passes the term of viability? At what point does the state step in? You know…if the mother is a crack addict, at that point the state can step in and protect that baby.” (2)
RFK Jr is worried about the safety of abortion pills as an option: @RobertKennedyJr “We ought to know what the side effects are, what the risks are, what the benefits and that everyone should have informed choice and we don’t have that now.” 📌 FACT: Medication abortion is safe. In fact, it’s safer than many other medicines like penicillin, Tylenol, and Viagra and has been used safely in the U.S. for more than 20 years. Serious complications are extremely rare. (3)
@cwebbonline @RobertKennedyJr He will never be president - any woman who wants her rights will not vote for him. #Spoiler4Trump
@cwebbonline @RobertKennedyJr I just love the smell of white grifter men pontificating on women's rights in the morning.
@cwebbonline @RobertKennedyJr You know, that was called Roe v Wade. And almost all Dems still support it.
@cwebbonline @RobertKennedyJr Giving birth can be dangerous.
@cwebbonline @RobertKennedyJr 🤔 what exactly is he saying here.
@cwebbonline @RobertKennedyJr Is he proposing places to detain expectant mothers? Or is this another riff?
