Former President Donald Trump revived one of his most egregious lies about abortion during an interview televised Sunday, repeatedly making the easily debunked claim that multiple states allow physicians to kill the baby after birth.

The former president and 2024 Republican front-runner made the claims during a pretaped sit-down interview with NBCs Meet the Press. Trump insisted on this being true eight times throughout the interview, despite moderator Kristen Welkers repeated corrections.

You have some states that are allowed to kill the child after birth, and you cant allow that, Trump insisted.

Look, the Democrats are able to kill the baby after birth, he doubled down.

Even after birth, youre allowed to terminate the baby, he claimed.

All of these statements are categorically false. It is not legal in a single state to willfully end the life of a newborn.

Anti-abortion politicians who make these outrageous and false claims are pushing a political agenda at the expense of real patients and people who are harmed by abortion bans, Kelly Baden, the vice president of policy for the Guttmacher Institute, said in a statement to HuffPost.
