DeSantis Blasts Left-Wing Reporter For Defending Democrats On Abortion | Eastern NC Now

    Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis slammed a partisan reporter during an interview that aired on Monday over remarks that she made about the Democratic Party's stance on abortion.

    When asked by NBC News reporter Dasha Burns if he would veto any federal bill that would institute a nationwide ban on abortion, DeSantis said that he would be a pro-life president and would support pro-life policies.

    "I would not allow what a lot of the Left wants to do, which is to override pro-life protections throughout the country all the way up really until the moment of birth in some instances, which I think is infanticide," DeSantis said.

    Burns quickly pushed back while looking down at her notes. "I've gotta push back on you on that," Burns interrupted, "because that's a misrepresentation of what's happening. I mean, that 1.3% of abortions happen at 21 weeks [of pregnancy] or higher."

    "There's no evidence of Democrats pushing for abortions up until-" she continued.

    "But their view is is that all the way up until that, there should not be any legal protections," DeSantis noted.

    "There's no indication of Democrats pushing for that," Burns claimed.

    DeSantis pushed back noting areas of the country where Democrats have pursued exactly that agenda to which Burns again defended the Democratic Party claiming that it was not true.

    "The Left in this country has moved on from the position that said, 'you know what, we do want to discourage abortion, it's not something that's a good thing,' to now viewing it more as positive good for society and I think most Americans, regardless of how they feel on legal protections, I don't think most Americans think it's a positive good for society."

    "It's obviously a tragic circumstance," he added.

With Roe v Wade (originated in 1973) overturned by the US Supreme Court, thereby allowing decisions on abortion legislation completely returned to the states: Where do you find your position on such a "Life and Death" issue for the American People?

  Yes, I approve of the US Supreme Court's decision to reinstate this "medical" issue back to the states' legislative responsibility to regulate.

  No, I believe that every woman should have complete access to abortion on demand.

  This issue is far beyond my intellectual capacity to understand.

Since only about 20% of the News Media has any shred of Journalistic Integrity remaining: How does our Constitutional Republic continue without a "Free Press"?

  Demand real information, using real sources, backed up by facts.

  Promote real journalist entities only, and admonish those that prostitute their profession.

  We Democratic Socialists are doing just fine, thank-you, by promoting lies while having very little real knowledge about so much.
