Trump Says He’s Voting ‘No’ on Florida Abortion Amendment Because Minnesota Is Executing Newborns
Trump’s comments about Amendment 4 come 24 hours after he told NBC News that a six-week abortion ban was “too short,” and his lies about Minnesota killing babies come out of left field.

It’s been a long summer of former president and Florida resident Donald Trump either avoiding questions about the state’s abortion amendment or promising to hold a conference about it “in the future.” But on Friday night, ahead of his rally in Johnstown, PA, he definitively said he’ll be voting “no” on Amendment 4, which would overturn Florida’s six-week abortion ban, which has been in effect since May, and enshrine a right to abortion in the state constitution. He also said Minnesota “and other states” “have it” so that you can “execute a baby after birth.” I will not insult your intelligence by stating that that’s not true.
“So I think six weeks, you need more time than six weeks, I’ve disagreed with that right from the early primaries when I heard about it, I disagreed with it,” Trump began when a Fox News reporter asked if he was “voting yes or no on Amendment 4.” Trump continued: “At the same time, the democrats are radical because the nine months is just a ridiculous situation, where you can do an abortion in the ninth month, and some of the states like Minnesota and other states have it where you can actually execute the baby after birth.”
