Texas Rep. Robert “Beto” O’Rourke, one of the latest Democrats to enter the party’s 2020 presidential primary, confirmed he’s just as uncompromisingly pro-abortion as the rest of the field Monday when he expressed his support for legal elective abortions in the third trimester.
O’Rourke was speaking at a campaign event in Cleveland, Ohio, the Daily Caller reports. An attendee asked him how far he takes his “pro-choice” stance, anticipating how he might respond.
“Are you for third trimester abortions or are you going to protect the lives of third trimester babies?” she asked. “Because, you know, there’s really not a medical necessity for abortion. It’s not a medical emergency procedure, because typically third-trimester abortions take up to three days to have. So you would, in that sense, if there was an emergency, the doctors would just do a C-section. You don’t have to kill the baby.”
The questioner’s overview of the medical necessity is supported by the expert testimony of Dr. Anthony Levatino, an OB/GYN who committed more than 1,200 abortions before converting to the pro-life cause.
“So, the question is about abortion and reproductive rights,” O’Rourke responded, ignoring the subject of medical necessity and the lateness of the abortion. “And my answer is to you is that that should be a decision that the woman makes about her own body. I trust her.” His answer received roars of applause from the audience.

[ “You don’t have to kill the baby.” ]

Stick a fork in “Beto.” https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/03/beto-orourke-support-inches-deep-wide/
Is this someone we really want running for POTUS? Is the media going to do its job and vet this clown?
The mother murders her child and leftists call it a ‘decision’.
They want you dead, folks. Never support a leftist and always fight against them.
JoMa
Beto want to run as a murderer. Good for him.
What is his position on fourth trimester abortions?
Ever heard of the legendary wreck of "the Old 97"?
That's NOTHING compared to the slaughter come November 2020. Cardiac infarctions out the wazoo will be breaking out among leftists like Pelosi, Beto etc.
I hope a lot of the brain dead voters in Texas pay attention to what he says as he’s running for office.
It’ll be interesting to see how many stickers go missing the further we go along.
Stick a fork in him. He’s done.
“Democrats are the party of infanticide.”
Our son-in-law was born 3-1/2 months early, 39 years ago when the technology was far less than today. We had occasion to visit with his family last week and saw pictures of him - he was small but a fully formed child. They would have had him killed, yet he lived and serves our country in the Army, protecting their rights.
his name is bobby frank, and he is a pos.
Clueless and empty headed.
Is anybody really listening to the fake Mex-can other than his creators in the Marxist State Media?
My daughter made that decision in her third trimester. She decided to emerge from the uterus and live outside it.
Exactly.
Beto’Butthead’ O’Rourke is a genocidal-murdering traitor.
Beto probably has no idea that Obama and company are using him to get back into the White House.
Cuz if he were to win it he would have Valerie Jarrett running the show just like she did for Obummer.
