Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. clarified his stance on purely “elective” abortions of healthy babies in late-term pregnancies.

Kennedy appeared on The Sage Steele Show earlier this week to advocate against government involvement in abortion, “even if it’s full term.” The clip subsequently outraged enough listeners online that he issued a clarifying statement Friday on X, saying he meant that late-term abortions should be reserved for babies with major health problems that affect their viability.
