Gavin Newsom Refuses to Oppose Any Abortion Limitations

The California Governor also attacked his Florida counterpart Ron DeSantis for “extreme” six-week abortion limits

California Governor Gavin Newsom shied away from opposing any restrictions on abortion during a debate with fellow presidential hopeful and political opposite Florida Governor Ron DeSantis last week.

LifeNews notes that while Newsom labeled DeSantis’ support for a six-week abortion ban as “extreme,” he refused to directly answer a question from host Sean Hannity as to whether he supported any restrictions at all.

When Hannity asked, “should there be an

y restrictions on the issue of abortion that you support at all?” Newsom shied away, accusing the host of siding with his opponent.

The liberal governor said that late-term abortion ought to be “an extreme, extreme exception” which should be “up to the mother and her doctor and her conscience.”

During his time in office, Newsom has overseen the expansion of a state that was already radically pro-abortion. The stance is indicative of the state of the Democratic Party, which is aggressively pursuing no-exceptions abortions despite public disapproval for late-term abortions.

“Last night’s debate shocked the national conscience when California Governor Gavin Newsom refused to support any protections for babies in the womb,” said Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser following the debate. “Even when given several opportunities, No-Limits Newsom would not list a single limit he supports on abortion – not even in the seventh, eighth or ninth month.”

“This stunning declaration from Newsom confirms to the American people that the former Democratic platform of ‘safe, legal and rare’ abortions is now in the ash heap of history. Today’s Democratic Party stands for all-trimester abortions, for any reason on demand,” she continued. “That position is not only inhumane but wildly out of step with the nearly three fourths of Americans who want limits on abortion after 15 weeks when science shows babies feel pain.”
