“In 12 states, children born alive after a failed abortion have no legal protection, and in three more states children born alive after an abortion had legal rights that governors — like Tim Walz — repealed.”

PolitiFact rated this: False

PolitiFact says: Every person who is born has protections under federal and state laws. It’s illegal in every state to kill a baby after it’s born. The bill Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz approved in 2023 didn't remove these protections.

Tim Walz, Democratic vice presidential candidate

“Former President Donald Trump “said he’d ban abortion across this country.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Not the Whole Story

FactCheck.org says: Trump once supported legislation that included a federal 20-week ban on abortions, with some exceptions. But Trump now says it is entirely a state issue, and that he does not support a national abortion ban.
