Presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke<\/a> has been unflappably, disconcertingly consistent in his extremist position on third-trimester abortions and the question of whether infants born alive<\/a> after botched abortion attempts should receive medical care.<\/p>\n

Back in March<\/a>, O’Rourke was asked where he stood on third-trimester abortions<\/a> when the baby could be delivered via cesarean section. The questioner even spoke about how late-term abortions are never medically necessary and how a multi-day late-term abortion poses significant physical risks to the mother. It should have been a softball question. Unfortunately, O’Rourke’s response did not even engage the question, instead trotting out the tired party line about how abortion “should be a decision that a woman makes. I trust her.” Frighteningly, he went on to clarify that he furthermore would have voted against<\/em> medical care being given to viable babies who survived botched abortions.<\/p>\n
