Jen Psaki acknowledges widespread Democratic support for legalizing abortions up until birth.
MSNBC Host Jen Psaki Admits Democrats Support Abortion Until Birth
In a recent episode of her show ”Inside with Jen Psaki,” MSNBC host Jen Psaki made a surprising admission. She acknowledged that Democrats are in favor of allowing abortion up until the moment of birth.
Psaki, the former White House press secretary, likely intended to use the segment to defend her previous claim that “no one supports abortion up until birth.” However, she quickly confirmed that left-leaning lawmakers are indeed fighting to legalize late-term abortions.
“Mothers have described in heart-wrenching detail having to make the decision to end their pregnancy to save their own life, or because they were told the baby that they were so excited for would not survive, or would suffer,” Psaki said. “Are most Democrats in favor of legislation that allows for this? Yes. For all the reasons I just outlined.”
In support of her argument, Psaki referenced a Washington Post article that quoted an abortion facility director discussing the prevalence of serious fetal abnormalities. According to Democrats, these conditions justify late-term abortions, even when they do not threaten the child’s life.
Despite acknowledging Democrats’ support for ending unborn babies’ lives at any gestation period, Psaki once again denied that anyone is advocating for late-term abortions.
“No one is running on the platform of aborting viable babies. No one is selling late-term abortions as Ron DeSantis claims. No one. Not Joe Biden, not Kamala Harris, not Hillary Clinton, not Nancy Pelosi, or any other politicians demonized by the right-wing roots for late-term abortion,” Psaki asserted.
However, Psaki’s defense of this claim falls short. She has a history of supporting policies that allow for the termination of fully gestated babies, as do Democrats across the nation.
Psaki argues that Republican assertions about the left’s desire to legalize unlimited, on-demand abortion are “entirely misleading.” She justifies this by claiming that abortions beyond fetal viability are “incredibly rare.”
Similar excuses have been used by other media figures, such as NBC News’ Dasha Burns, to dismiss concerns about Democrats’ abortion-for-all agenda.
Regardless of the frequency of late-term abortions, Democrats and their allies in the corporate media consistently advocate for policies that allow abortions throughout all nine months of pregnancy.
It is worth noting that a majority of Americans find abortion until birth to be unpopular. This is why Democrats like Psaki often try to obscure their true views. However, the fact remains that approximately a quarter of U.S. states have passed laws or constitutional amendments that effectively allow abortions at any stage of pregnancy.
Psaki reaffirmed this aspect of Democrats’ abortion strategy by asserting that the decision should be between the woman and her doctor, free from legislative restrictions.
