WASHINGTON — During the vice-presidential debate tonight, Governor Tim Walz was asked by the moderators if he supported abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy.
The following is a
statement from Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life:
Tim Walz refused to answer a simple question about whether he supported abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy and instead engaged in fearmongering and propaganda. His full-throated support of unlimited abortion throughout pregnancy may have been something he didn’t want to admit to during the debate, but
his record is clear.Tim Walz supports abortion anywhere, under any circumstances, and at any time throughout pregnancy. His radical, extreme position on abortion is out of touch with the majority of Americans.
If pro-abortion extremists Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were elected, they would put preborn babies in the crosshairs and future
generations of Americans would be endangered.
Tim Walz opposes the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. The bill would ensure that an infant who survives an attempted abortion is afforded the same degree of medical care as any other newborn of the same gestational age. As governor, Walz repealed similar state-level protections for newborn babies in Minnesota.
Tim Walz supports a policy allowing unlimited abortion for any reason throughout pregnancy. He signed legislation to enshrine a “fundamental right” to abortion for any reason until birth in Minnesota law and invalidated existing protections like the state’s parental involvement law.
As governor, Walz repealed Minnesota’s Positive Alternatives Act which
offered funding for programs that provided adoption services, housing assistance, counseling, childcare, parenting education, medical attention for mothers and babies in need, and more.
Tim Walz memorably described his own extreme record as “so pro-choice Nancy Pelosi asked me if I should tone it down.”
