RFK Jr.’s Running Mate Parrots Right-Wing Talking Points About Abortion
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate Nicole Shanahan weighed in on the pair’s stance on abortion rights in a new podcast, declaring that Kennedy believes “every abortion is a tragedy” while insisting that most women considering an abortion would not go through with it if they were provided the necessary resources.
Shanahan was interviewed by former ESPN anchor Sage Steele for thea May 1 episode of her weekly podcast, the Sage Steele Show. During the conversation, Steele brought up a discussion she said she had with RFK Jr., in which he allegedly said he supported a woman’s right to terminate her pregnancy up until the moment of birth.
“That is not Bobby's position as I understand it,” Shanahan responded. “My understanding with Bobby's position is that every abortion is a tragedy, is a loss of life. My understanding is that he absolutely believes in the limits on abortion.”
