In a bid to outflank Biden for the women's vote, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. came out in favor of abortion at any time and for any reason up until birth, saying "every baby's death is a tragedy. Many of them leave permanent trauma on a woman. But I think, ultimately, I don't trust government to have jurisdiction over people's bodies."
This announcement stunned RFK's running mate Nicole Shanahan who insisted "that is not Bobby's position, at least as far as I understand it. My understanding is that he absolutely believes in limits on abortion, and we've talked about this. I don't know where the 'any time for any reason' came from."
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a one-time presidential nominee herself, suggested that "the worm that ate part of Kennedy's brain could explain it. His up until birth limit neglects to account for fetuses that survive an abortion. What is to be done with them?"
"The bottom line is that women shouldn't place their trust in a candidate with only half a brain," Clinton asserted. "They should stick with Biden. He has a whole brain and a proven track record on the abortion issue. He has already pledged that if he is reelected he will get Congress to codify Roe v. Wade or if Republicans hold the majority he will get the job done via executive order. And he won't leave any loopholes that could thwart the objective of the abortion decision."
In related news, the United States is one of only eight countries where the national law allows abortion on demand without any gestational limits. The other seven are Australia, Canada, China, Guinea-Bissau, Mexico, South Korea, and Vietnam. One hundred and seventy-eight countries prohibit abortions after 15 weeks of gestation. France, Sweden, New Zealand, Iceland, the Netherlands, Colombia and Singapore allow abortions up to the end of the second trimester. Presidential Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said "though he is personally opposed to abortion, President Biden takes great pride in leading America into the ranks of the most progressive protectors of women's reproductive rights."
