Seriously, this was a BIG disappointment. Somehow Trump always seems to disappoint.
Sounds like he tried but went too far:

Trump reiterated that he supports exceptions for cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is at risk. At one point Trump claimed that some babies were being subjected to “executions” after birth. One of the ABC moderators interceded to fact-check him, saying: “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born.”
That is an unproven claim that I've tried to verify for years. And that's were people get into trouble, missing the opportunity to do a layup while going for a 360 slam dunk. Here's the layup. Washington DC's abortion law:
https://code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/cou...7/chapters/20D
The District shall recognize the right of every individual who becomes pregnant to decide whether to carry a pregnancy to term, to give birth, or to have an abortion.
There's more at the link. Basically abortion is legal in Washington DC all the way through the 9th month with no qualifications. New York's late term abortion law is based on exceptions for the health of the mother or for a non-viable fetus. And Washington DC isn't a state and their laws routinely get overriden by Congress. So rather than talking about abortion "after birth" he should have specifically talked about DC's overly persmissive abortion laws, brought up Dr. Kermit Gosling's lawyers who argued he shouldn't be convited of killing babies who survived abortion because it would have been legal a few minutes earlier, and asked her does she agree with DC's law?
