When it comes to abortion, independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. is evolving his position so fast that it’s hard to keep track of what he actually believes.

On his campaign website, Kennedy says that he will maximize a woman’s ability to choose to have an abortion, but will reduce the number of abortions “by choice, not by force.”

“As President, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will make it easier for women to choose life,” the candidate’s website reads. “He will give them more choices than they have today, we will see a lot fewer abortions, and a lot more flourishing families.”

In a recent interview with the Catholic network EWTN, Kennedy said, “Every abortion is a tragedy” and that he would “like to maximize choice but also minimize the number of abortions that occur every year.”

But when it comes to establishing a limit on when abortions can take place, Kennedy has proven to be a moving target. Last August, the candidate said he supported an abortion ban after three months, before quickly walking it back and affirming that he “does not support legislation banning abortion.”

Cyber Liberty:
His stand on abortion, as of today:  Fully legal from conception to term. That is unacceptable.  He's also far left on most of his issues.  It can be argued he is even more leftist that Shortbus Joe.

When it comes to abortion — and a host of other issues — there is absolutely zero daylight between RFK Jr. and Joe Biden.
He’s a great candidate for far-left Democrats.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. walks back support for 'full-term' abortion

--- Quote ---Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is seeking to clarify his position on abortion after he appeared to express support for allowing abortion at “full-term.”

Kennedy made the remarks about abortion during an appearance on “The Sage Steele Show” published last week. When asked by host Sage Steele if he supported abortions at “full term,” Kennedy responded that women should have the right to terminate their pregnancy “even if it’s full term.”

In a post on X Friday night, Kennedy suggested that he had changed his position on abortion because he was “willing to listen” to his “family, supporters, and others who shared their perspectives.” He noted that he saw “an emerging consensus” that “abortion should be legal up until a certain number of weeks, and restricted thereafter,” later illustrating his support for keeping abortion legal up until the point “when the baby is viable outside the womb.”

“Even in the reddest of red states, voters reject total abortion bans,” he added. “And on the other end, almost no one supports gruesome third-trimester abortions except to save the life of the mother.” ...

“Sometimes, women abort healthy, viable late-term fetuses,” he explained. “These cases of purely ‘elective’ late-term abortion are very upsetting. Once the baby is viable outside the womb, it should have rights and it deserves society’s protection.”  ...
