He specifically mentioned allowing\u2063 abortions even after birth. Welker quickly\u200c denied this, stating that no one supports such extreme measures.<\/p>\n<p>But the reality is that\u200b there are numerous abortion \u2064activists who openly advocate for abortion on demand up\u200c to birth. Additionally, several states,\u2064 including Alaska, Colorado, \u2064New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington, D.C., have no gestational limits on abortion.<\/p>\n<p>While some high-profile Democrats \u2063may be hesitant to \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nbcs-moderator-told-trump-no-one-is-calling-for-late-term-abortions-heres-why-shes-wrong\/\" title=\"NBC's moderator inaccurately claimed that no one is advocating for late-term abortions. However, this statement is incorrect.\">publicly support\u200d late-term abortions<\/a>, others have been more \u200dforthright. Senator \u2062Ben Cardin, for example, stated \u200dthat \u2062there should be no \u2062cutoff before the due\u200c date \u200dand that it is ultimately a \u2063woman&#8217;s decision.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, many House and Senate Democrats support the Women&#8217;s\u200b Health\u2064 Protection Act, which would legalize abortions after fetal viability, typically around 23 weeks. The Biden administration \u200calso backs this act.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also\u200b claimed that Democrats\u200d support killing \u2062babies after birth, to which Welker again denied. While no Democrat explicitly lists \u2063infanticide on their platform, there have been instances\u2062 where some Democrats have appeared to support it. \u2063Former Virginia Governor Ralph\u2063 Northam infamously stated that if a mother is in labor,\u200b the \u2064infant would be delivered,\u2064 kept\u2063 comfortable, and then a\u2062 discussion would take place \u2062between \u2064the physicians\u2062 and the mother.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Senate Democrats blocked\u200d a \u200cbill that would have protected\u200d babies \u200dborn alive after a\u2063 failed abortion.\u200c This raises concerns\u2064 about the treatment of infants who survive\u2064 the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary\u200c to popular belief,\u2063 data suggests that most late-term abortions are not performed due \u200dto fetal abnormalities or to save \u2062the mother&#8217;s life. A study published in Perspectives on Sexual and \u2064Reproductive Health found that the\u2062 reasons\u2064 for \u2063seeking later terminations are often unrelated to\u200b these factors.<\/p>\n<p>While Welker may downplay the\u2064 popularity of legal \u2063late-term abortion \u2062among the American\u200c public,\u2062 recent polls show that only half of\u2063 Americans\u200b support abortion after \u206415 weeks, which is still \u2063early in the\u2064 second trimester. However, Democratic politicians have shown a willingness to push for more extreme \u2063abortion policies.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u2063Which states in\u2064 the United States have laws that permit late-term \u200dabortions and under what circumstances<\/h2>\n<p><span>  States in the United States have laws that\u200b allow for\u2063 late-term abortion.<\/p>\n<p>One \u200cprominent \u200dexample\u2062 of an activist who \u2064supports \u2062late-term abortion is Dr. LeRoy Carhart.\u200c Carhart has been performing abortions\u200c up\u200c to 26\u200d weeks\u200d gestation \u2064and has openly stated that \u200dhe believes women \u200dshould have the right \u2063to an abortion\u2062 at any stage of pregnancy.\u200d He has even argued that women \u2062should\u2062 be allowed to have an \u2064abortion after the fetus has\u2064 reached viability.<\/p>\n<p>Another example is the organization NARAL Pro-Choice America, which has been a vocal advocate for abortion rights. In a statement on their website, they assert that &#8220;abortion is a personal decision that \u2064should be\u200c left to \u200ba \u200bwoman and \u2063her doctor. No arbitrary\u200d restrictions should\u2063 be \u2062imposed by politicians who presume\u2063 that they know better than women\u2062 and their doctors.&#8221; This statement makes it clear\u200d that\u2064 they support \u2063unrestricted access to\u2064 abortion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vulnerable-nevada-democrat-sen-catherine-cortez-masto-attacks-charitable-womens-care-centers\/\" title=\"Vulnerable Nevada Democrat Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto Attacks Charitable Women\u2019s Care Centers\">including late-term procedures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore,\u2064 several states in the United States have laws that \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/we-are-the-arbiters-soros-prosecutor-says-he-wont-enforce-abortion-laws-if-roe-is-overturned\/\" title=\"\u2018We Are the Arbiters\u2019: Soros Prosecutor Says He Won\u2019t Enforce Abortion Laws If Roe Is Overturned\">permit late-term abortions<\/a>. For \u200bexample, New York&#8217;s Reproductive Health Act, passed in 2019, allows for abortions up to the \u2064moment of birth \u200bif the mother&#8217;s health \u2064is at\u2063 risk or if the fetus is not viable. Vermont, Colorado, and New Hampshire also\u200c have laws\u2062 that permit abortions throughout pregnancy in certain\u2062 circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>By dismissing Trump&#8217;s assertion and claiming that no one\u2064 supports late-term abortion, \u200bWelker\u200b failed\u2062 to acknowledge \u200bthe reality of the situation.\u2064 While it may be true \u200bthat not everyone\u2064 supports late-term abortion, there are certainly individuals and organizations that do. It is\u200d crucial \u200dfor journalists to be accurate and thorough \u2062in their fact-checking, particularly when it comes \u200cto\u200d sensitive and politically charged topics such as abortion.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that the \u200bconversation around late-term \u2064abortion is a complex and \u2063contentious \u2064issue. \u200cThere are valid arguments on\u2064 both\u200d sides, and opinions\u2062 vary widely. However, as journalists, it is important to present the facts and acknowledge differing perspectives \u200drather than \u2062dismissing certain viewpoints altogether.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion,\u2063 NBC&#8217;s Kristen Welker&#8217;s dismissal of Trump&#8217;s\u200d statement regarding late-term abortion was inaccurate. There are indeed \u200dindividuals and organizations that support\u2064 late-term abortion, as\u2063 well as several states that have laws permitting it. It is essential for journalists to \u2063fact-check and \u2063present an unbiased account of the subject matter, particularly when it involves such a sensitive and debated issue as abortion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NBC&#8217;s Kristen Welker falsely claimed in her recent interview with ex-President Donald Trump that no one supports legal abortion up to birth.
