    Yes, this is from The Atlantic.
    The mainstream media just keeps lying to us.
    They want us to just accept that the elites, the media owners, and the
    powerful Democratic party machine have it all under control.
    So Kamala Harris and Lindsey Davis can blatantly lie to us.

    Yes, Third-Trimester Abortions Are Happening in America
    Democrats tend to brush off questions about whether these abortions
    should be restricted.

    Ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Democrats have
    considered abortion a winning issue and have been eager to talk about
    it. Emphasizing reproductive rights helped the party achieve victories
    in the 2022 midterm elections and has generated enthusiasm for Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign.

    But some abortions Democrats would rather not discuss: those that occur
    in the final months of pregnancy. Democrats tend to brush off questions
    about whether these abortions should be restricted, either by denying
    that their policies would allow abortions late in pregnancy or by
    pointing out that these abortions are rare, implying that they are
    therefore not worth our moral concern.

    In the recent vice-presidential debate, Tim Walz sidestepped a question
    about a relatively permissive abortion bill he signed into law in
    Minnesota. And in the presidential debate before that, when Donald Trump pointed out that Roe had allowed for abortions in the seventh, eighth,
    and ninth months of a pregnancy, Kamala Harris plainly said, “That’s not true.”
