Blatant Lies – Jen Psaki, “No one supports abortion up until birth”

Jen Psaki, the former White House press secretary, is being torn apart after a Tweet she made:

No one supports abortion up until birth.

— Jen Psaki (@jrpsaki) August 24, 2023

This is in response to questions on whether Democrats support abortions up until the day that the baby is born.

Seems simple enough, right?

Yet, Psaki and many of her Democrat colleagues campaign for laws supporting abortion up until birth.

And when asked about it, many Democrats deflect the question.

Fox News has more on the story:

As aspiring leaders spoke about topics like abortion at the first GOP primary debate on Fox News, former White House spokesperson Jen Psaki sparked outrage by claiming “no one” supports abortion through birth.

Republican White House hopefuls for the 2024 presidential nomination faced off for the first time on the debate stage Wednesday night. During a spirited discourse on abortion policy, DeSantis defended his regulations as the governor of Florida, citing his own personal experience.

“I believe in a culture of life. I was proud to sign the Heartbeat Bill. I remember one of the most impactful moments of my life was when I heard the heartbeat of my oldest daughter in my wife’s womb and then saw the sonograms of all three of my kids,” he recalled. “What the Democrats are trying to do on this issue is wrong, to allow abortion all the way up to the moment of birth.”

Former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley also urged the media to ask President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris if they support any limits on abortion: “Are they for 38 weeks? Are they for 39 weeks? Are they for 40 weeks?”

Psaki wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, responded to pro-life Republican candidates, claiming, “No one supports abortion up until birth.”

This sparked a tidal wave of condemnation on social media.

Many have pointed out the hypocrisy of her statements:

Here is Jen Psaki pushing for support for the "Women's Health Protection Act," which would have legalized abortion in America up until the moment of birth. https://t.co/018Ezc3dFb pic.twitter.com/IRKKs4fCzb

Democrats strongly pushing for abortions is nothing new.

Now that the spotlight is on them and people are pointing out the disgusting nature of their laws.

They seem to be backpeddling.

Let’s look at Breitbart‘s fact check:

CLAIM: Former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki claimed in an X post (formerly Twitter) during the Republican presidential primary debate on Wednesday that “no one supports abortion up until birth.”

VERDICT: FALSE. Several Democrat-run states have no limits on abortion, and Democrats have supported legislation that would allow abortion through all nine months of pregnancy.

Jen Psaki claimed that “no one supports abortion up until birth,” despite the fact that Democrat lawmakers collectively refuse to support any kind of limit on abortion. Many Republican presidential candidates have pointed to Democrats’ abortion-on-demand agenda as evidence of the left’s growing extremism.

Much to the contrary, several states — run by Democrats — have no restrictions on abortion whatsoever, including Colorado, Oregon, and Washington, DC, where Psaki worked for President Joe Biden.

Leave it to Democrats to lie about their stance to save face.

🔥 Jen Psaki roasted after downplaying Democrats' extreme abortion stance! Critics remind her that Dems voted for late-term abortion & allowing it up until birth. Even challenged to name any restrictions they support! Check out the full blog post here: https://t.co/29x8T3JTzM

No one? Why have no limit laws passed then? If you would like to stand up with your fellow democrats and say you’re against that we’d love to hear it.

Will you stand up and say you’re against late term abortion then and push for these no limit states to overturn the law? pic.twitter.com/82VLhE9z3Q
