Claim by Ron DeSantis (R): “In some liberal states, you actually have post-birth abortions.”
Politifact rating: False (Killing an infant after birth is infanticide and is illegal in all 50 states. In life-threatening cases, an expecting mother may be induced into labor. If the newborn has a very short life-expectancy, a family may opt for palliative care, which aims to provide comfort to an infant near death. These cases typically involve medical conditions that result in a baby surviving minutes or days after delivery.) Ron DeSantis’ False claim that some states allow ‘post-birth’ abortions. None do. |
