RFK Jr. says women can have abortions up to birth, surprising his VP pick: ‘I don’t know where that came from’

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says that women should be able to decide to get an abortion at any time during pregnancy — shocking his running mate Nicole Shanahan, who tried to claim “that is not Bobby’s position” on a recent podcast.

"Every abortion is a tragedy. Many of them leave permanent trauma on a woman. But I think, ultimately, I don’t trust government to have a jurisdiction over people’s bodies,” Kennedy told former ESPN anchor Sage Steele on an episode of her eponymous podcast, which aired Wednesday.

I think RFK,Jr has a few screws loose on establishing the right platform on which to run! SAD. Definitely, NOT like JFK WAS, I had respect for him.
I am a Conservative now, and think JFK would be one now in this atmosphere.

RFK Jr has my permission to keep saying the right things to draw Biden voters.

Come on, Bobby.
That’s not how you coordinate with your VP pick.
You made a policy decision on a hot topic, and didn’t include her in the loop.
She’s going to feel disrespected and embarrassed.
Ask your Mom Ethel how a campaign should operate at this point in the race. On second thought, maybe don’t ask her.

This FRer won’t even consider voting for RFK now. Such an extremist anti- life position is completely unacceptable to me. First, it is immoral to the max. Second, it is insane.
We don’t need another nut job in Washington DC

It’s like he is trying to appeal to the far far left- to prevent bleeding away any Trump voters. And to gather some of the insane liberals away from Biden.

I hope I am right

He also says he doesn’t use steroids, but does use testosterone (i.e. he uses steroids). He is a seriously stupid man, and if you agree with him on any subject you should examine the bases of your view.

I hope the worm is telling him to say open borders and sanctuary cities next. Once a lefty always a lefty no matter how many worms they have in their brains.

JFK was liberal and would have been as far left as he could get away with, as he was back then.

He was also pro-abortion.

Polls say for every 10 votes he gets, 3 come from Trump, 3.4 come from Biden and the rest come from the kooks who don’t vote.

If he loses ground, and he will, it will marginally help Biden, but really not a lot.

The bigger poll problem for Trump with be that the “likely voter” screens will benefit Biden in poll readings later in the year. Will mean all those battleground states will be poll tossups that show Trump up 2-3 today.

I beleive anyone who supports abortion on demand, especially up to the moment of birth, is a diehard member of Satan’s Arrmy.

I can't say you're wrong about that. Perhaps you have a source that I've never seen. But having been around back then, abortion was simply not an issue that was part of the discussion.

RFK is a kook liberal, I hope he calms down enough to keep his Dem support in November.
