Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said his mind was swayed against full-term abortion access after a contentious interview with Sage Steele last week.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says learning about the rates of elective late-term abortions convinced him to change his position on the issue. Kennedy reflected on his evolving position regarding abortion on Tuesday during an interview with comedians Shane Gillis and Matt McCusker after the duo praised him for his willingness to change his platform based on new information.

My position on abortion was that it should always be a woman's choice right up to the very end,' Kennedy continued. 'In the ninth month, you're basically killing a child, right? My presumption was that no woman is going to deliberately carry a child for nine months then two days before it's born, abort it.

Following initial outreach to the Biden campaign, Fox News Digital received a statement on the matter from a Democratic National Committee spokesperson, who claimed Kennedy 'can’t be trusted to stand up for reproductive freedom.' Kennedy's platform on abortion has been shaky for some time — last year, NBC News reported that he supported limiting abortions to 15 or 21 weeks into the pregnancy.
