Look out, pregnant women of America. Hillary Clinton will allow doctors “rip the baby” right out of you, according to Donald Trump. Right there from your uterus, within weeks of your due date.
Because apparently that’s how late-term abortions work.
The Republican nominee made the [insert outraged adjective of your choice] comment during today’s US presidential debate, as part of a discussion on US abortion law.
Just to demonstrate that we’re not exaggerating, this is exactly what he said:
“I think it’s terrible. If you go with what Hillary is saying, in the ninth month you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth of the baby. Now you can say that’s okay, and Hillary can say that’s okay, but it’s not okay with me. Because based on what she’s saying … you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month, in the final day, and that’s not acceptable.”
Yep.

There were so many scary things in this article, but the scariest thing of all was the polling; Clinton 46 to Trump 40. That's 40% of voters
32 week old with suspected dwarfism aborted in Victoria. Fact. 2008. Not a baby 'incompatible with life'.
Can you link an article or more information about this? Was their a health risk to the mother?
IIRC, the mother was suicidal.
Here's an article. It was a hugely controversial case quite a number of years after the actual event (it happened in 2000, not 2008 as Guest says). In this instance the mother was deemed to be acutely suicidal by all the clinicians who saw her, and there were a lot of them. There was a subsequent investigation and all the doctors involved were, I believe, cleared of any wrongdoing.

Thanks for providing that. Sounds like the medical staff made the right call. Had the abortion not proceeded both mother and baby would have died.
