Abortion came up early in CNN’s presidential debate Thursday night, with Donald Trump repeating his head-scratching claim that “everybody” wanted to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“Every legal scholar throughout the world, the most respected, wanted it brought back to the states,” Trump insisted. That is Trump and Biden also got into a heated exchange about limits on abortion rights after a certain number of weeks of pregnancy. Trump fired back: “So that means he can take the life of the baby in the ninth month and even after birth. … He’s willing to rip the baby out of the womb and kill the baby.”
