Robert Kennedy Jr.’s abortion stance may cost him conservative votes. The Independent candidate says he supports full-term legal abortion if it’s the choice of the woman.
Will this sink Kennedy’s appeal to Republicans and Independents who liked Ron DeSantis and want an alternative to President Donald Trump? You be the judge.
I’m providing you a couple clips of Kennedy’s comments. The first is the controversial statement. The second provides the context of his remark.
First , we tee up the quote.
Now, the context around the statement.
I wanted to present both clips because it is very easy to sensationalize a statement as damaging when it is taken out of context. With that said, I get Kennedy’s nuanced answer of keeping government out of a woman’s choice, abortion as a tragedy and his plan of fewer abortions.
However, the context does not soften the fact of Kennedy supporting full-term abortion. Sure, he adds the caveat of personal choice for the woman, but again, RFK Jr. supports full-term abortion.
Will this sink Kennedy’s campaign? What do you think?

Dex,
The left “kill their own”. Children and candidates. They will not let Kennedy be president because he does not share ALL of their views and they don’t control him.
At the end of October I still think the “Joker”, Newsom will be the left’s candidate.
He’s evil to the core, corrupt, and so communist even Jerry Brown hates him.
Many years ago, I transported a relative to an abortion clinic to abort the child in her womb. Still to this day, I am haunted by this action. In Romans 1:32, we are not without guilt, if we state its up to the pregnant women, essentially we are agreeing with abortion. The scripture states, 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. We do not get away with standing in the middle. We must stand firm in what God call us to do. Many Christians have told me they have a distaste for Trump, so they voted the other way. I don’t understand Christians voting for a party that believes in not only any type of abortion, but late term abortion. We need to wake up. God bless.
Well said!
