RFK Jr. reverses stance on federal abortion ban

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign attempted to clarify his stance on abortion after he expressed support for a federal ban on abortions after the first three months of pregnancy. The campaign stated that Kennedy believes it is always the woman's right to choose and does not support legislation banning abortion. They attributed his earlier comments to a misunderstanding of the question. Kennedy's remarks had garnered praise from the anti-abortion rights group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, but the campaign's clarification did not include direct comments from Kennedy himself. Kennedy, who has a history of spreading vaccine misinformation and conspiracy theories, is running as a Democratic presidential candidate against President Joe Biden.
