Former President Donald Trump claimed that Roe v. Wade gave mothers the right 'to kill the baby after birth' when clarifying his views on abortion during an interview Thursday.
Trump was speaking to Sean Hannity during his visit to the US-Mexico border in Texas.
The former president's views on the issue have made headlines of late, as Trump called reports he was considering a federal 16-week abortion ban 'fake news.'
Earlier this week, he spoke out against the Alabama Supreme Court's ruling against IVF treatments, which he reiterated Thursday, calling it a 'harsh decision.'
When asked by Hannity where he was on the issue, he compared himself to Ronald Reagan, saying he believed in exceptions despite being pro-life and claimed pro-abortion Democrats are radicals on the issue.
'I think it's a very important thing the exceptions,' he said.
'I also think that they are the radicals, because they will kill the baby in eight months, nine months. Under Roe v. Wade, they had the right to kill the baby after birth. I mean, literally, after birth in some cases.'
He claimed that former Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, a Democrat, had been in favor of such a policy.
Northam had said in years past that if a fetus was nonviable and a woman were to give birth, the physicians and the mother would have 'a discussion' about its viability.
'We want that, we want people to help, we are on the side of women,' before adding, 'Same thing on the abortion issue. The abortion issue, now, I'm for the exceptions like Ronald Reagan was for the exceptions.'

Post reported for deceptive headline. Get lost.
Isn’t that what the whole “partial-birth” practice evolved into?
They also sell organs, and baby is alive to harvest parts.
It is unbelievable what abortions turned into..
Mothers have been killing the babies after birth. No one ever got into legal trouble over it. Before roe v wade they didn’t do that.
Whatever Trump actually said, the claim in the headline is absolutely true
“ It is unbelievable what abortions turned into..”
Ya you give mothers the right to kill their offspring and it turns Corey. Who’da thunk it.
I call BS on this story.
The lie about him will stick. Voters, especially young women are naive.
Bottomline . . . . Abortion is murdering GOD’S creation. President Trump needs a “come to Jesus meeting” before he makes anymore statements on the topic.

This is when it started. Gov Northam said the truth out loud.
“Northam on Abortion Bill: Infant Could Be Delivered and Then ‘Physicians and the Mother’ Could Decide If It Lives”

Was the practice of mothers and midwives for much of human history - when, upon birth, they decided the viability of baby and family:
Probability of baby surviving and probability of family surviving.
Re my reply 11, adding:
A situation (the context) that “has been all over the map,” and the decision.
Many factors involved, with fear weighing heavily.
And plenty of fear, for sale in some parts.
I would tell men: The woman with whom you have sexual intercourse, is your wife.
I would tell women: The man with whom you have sexual intercourse, is your husband.
Prefer God in your decisions.
Gov Ralph Northam spoke publicly about mother/doc deciding whether a just-born baby would live or die before Roe overturned.
Well, he not exactly wrong, if he said that.
There several reports of abortion clinics that had babies born alive in botched abortions that were left in closets or on metal tables to slowly die.
Whether that was the wish of the mother at the time, I don’t know.
What about live birth abortion? Ayatollah obamas favorite
Leftists are funny.
They like to cite EUROPE as an example for their “progressive” ideas, yet, just about all of europe bans abortion after 15 weeks and some countries even earlier than that.
Honestly I don’t see a 15 or 16 week federal ban on abortion happening in this country anytime soon, but they will use this as a boogie man to rally the troops.
A nationwide ban, or any allowance or limit, is unconstitutional unless it’s a constitutional amendment. Why doesn’t Trump just say that. We’re undermining the SCOTUS ruling by suggesting these things.
Stephan Lenore needs a first person intimacy of what a mid birth abortion is. Let’s find out everything we can about Stephan’s brain. Lucky for him it wasn’t sucked out of his skull mid-birth, by his heros at Planned Parenthood.
What did he say exactly?
