Jen Psaki now says that Democrats aren't, like, cheering for late-term abortions

An NBC News reporter supposedly interviewing GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis decided she needed to correct him on his claim that Democrats support abortion up until delivery. A day later, CNN's Dana Bash said that she's never talked to a Democrat who supports abortion through the third trimester. Never!

MSNBC's Jen Psaki weighed in:

No one supports abortion up until birth.

Then what's the cutoff? Democrats have been really, really unclear on this issue.

In one (1) segment, Psaki shifted from "Dems don’t support all-trimester abortions"

To "I mean, they’re not *cheering* for late-term abortions"

To "They hardly ever happen"

To "They’re saving lives"

To "Shame on Republicans!"

No one's cheering for late-term abortions? So, the whole "Shout Your Abortion" movement has passed.

Jenn Psaki is used to lying and getting away with it, but this lie has backfired:

“Contrary to the former White House press secretary’s claims, a majority of late-term abortions kill the physically healthy babies of physically healthy mothers.”https://t.co/21zUkTNsOf

Best if Psaki keeps her mouth shut and accepts the brutality of her policy preferences. There’s no good argument for abortion from the baby’s vantage point.

I don’t get the whole we’re saving lives thing. A D&C is not an abortion. People are just very uneducated

That was one of the false talking points going around then. Women would die from not having a D&C or from being forced to carry an ectopic pregnancy," because those are both "abortions."

The Democrat playbook.

What do you mean? Once every year? Every five years?

This editor has heard estimates of between 10,000 and 20,000 a year. Only a small percentage.

Broadcast journalist Jen Psaki had the opportunity to tell us right then and there after how many weeks an abortion should be illegal, and she blew it.
