Late Tuesday, MPR News<\/a> posted an article to clarify some of what was said in Tuesday’s Vice-Presidential debate about Minnesota’s abortion law.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

While they are allowed, abortions late in pregnancy are exceptionally rare. According to\u00a0Minnesota data<\/a>, in the last five years for which data is available just seven induced abortions have been reported in the third trimester of pregnancy. Abortions later in pregnancy are generally sought due to serious or fatal fetal anomalies, risk to maternal health or life or barriers that delay abortion access such as policy or financial need. It is illegal to kill a baby after birth as fo<\/a>rmer President Donald Trump claimed in the presidential debate in September<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2023 law also dropped some state reporting requirements for abortion providers and ended the so-called \u201cBorn Alive Infants Protection Act.\u201d Doctors and patients who\u2019d pressed for the law change said the new law doesn\u2019t prevent providers from trying to save the life of a child. Instead, they said it would let them bypass previously required medical interventions in situations where parents want to bond with their infant born with a fetal anomaly that is typically fatal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are basically wiggle words. As reported, the Minnesota law does allow abortion in the third trimester. The law also does not require providers to try to save a baby’s life. So Tim Walz did sign one of the most liberal abortion laws in the country.<\/p>\n

There were other moments during the debate where the moderators made comments that were misleading or outright lies. One has to do with the fact that the moderators stated that the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were here legally. That statement is technically true, but very misleading.<\/p>\n

As The New York Post<\/a> reported, Vice-Presidential candidate JD Vance provided some details:<\/p>\n

Sen. JD Vance<\/a> was accurately describing the migrant crisis fueled by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden when CBS moderator Margaret Brennan decided to insert herself with a \u201cfact check.\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cJust to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status,\u201d she said smugly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vance was rightly annoyed by the interruption and said, \u201cThe rules were that you guys weren\u2019t going to fact-check, and since you\u2019re fact-checking me, I think it\u2019s important to say what\u2019s actually going on.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He then proceeded to truthfully, forcefully explain what \u201clegal status\u201d means:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSo there\u2019s an application called the CBP One app, where you can go on as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for parole, and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

At which point CBS decided to CUT OFF HIS MIC.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was the most shameful moment in a long history of shameful moments by moderators biased against Republicans. They \u201cfact-checked\u201d the truth, then stopped the politician from responding.<\/strong><\/p>\n
