“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and in three more states children born alive after an abortion had legal rights that governors — like Tim Walz — repealed.”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.
