This is tragi-comically… false.

Hinderaker closes this afternoon by claiming that in Minnesota, and some other “blue” states… it is LEGAL to “abort” a fetus, after it has been born.

That is simply… a lie. It is “legal” — if the “zygote” is still born. Without a heart beat or respiration. Usually an extremely rare first trimester miscarriage is what he describes. In most states, the delivery room is not obligated by law, to try to revive in the first trimester, when there has been a miscarriage.

But the malign liar that is Hinderaker would have us believe that a full nine-month baby, born, breathing and pumping its own blood… may be… “aborted” after delivery.

What a feckless liar. If the baby has deeply endangered the mother’s life (regardless of weeks in gestation), and cannot be delivered vaginally, or by C-section, or is not capable of living outside her body, her doctors may choose (with informed consent) to save the mom.

Stop with the idiotic lies, John. And we all know the radical right GOP / Trump and McConnell prevented a fourth justice being seated in Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat (does the name Merrick Garland ring a bell, Johnnie?!). So yes, Dobbs… is on him.

And maybe Hinderaker should ask the battered women, whose partners are regularly abusing them, because they’ve been forced to carry to term in Texas, Alabama or Mississippi or Florida… (even in the case of forcible rape, or child sexual attacks) whether they think it is a “health care” issue or crisis — in those states.

Maybe ask the women hunted by “bounty hunters” in Texas, for the supposed “crime” — of leaving the state, to get abortion services (typically in Colorado or Illinois). What a liar.

And… What a putz.
