'Very Disturbing': Group Demands ABC News Correction After Trump-Harris Face-Off

from Newsmakers · host CBN News

A pro-life leader is sounding off after last week's presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Kelsey Pritchard, state director of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, told CBN News she believes Harris distorted and misled about various issues surrounding the unborn.   Her organization is also challenging ABC News' David Muir and Linsey Davis, who moderated the debate. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America sent a letter last week to ABC News president Almin Karamehmedovic and to Muir and Davis asking for a correction and seeking a meeting between those parties and abortion survivors, Fox News reported.   The moment in question came during the debate when Davis proclaimed, "There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it's born." She was seemingly fact-checking Trump, who had just commented about Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Harris' running mate. "Her vice presidential pick says abortion in the ninth month is absolutely fine," Trump said. "He also says execution after birth, it's execution, no longer abortion, because the baby is born, is okay. And that's not okay with me."   While Davis fact-checked this claim and dismissed it, Pritchard offered a correction in her interview with CBN News. "One of the moderators attempted to fact check and got it completely wrong or was misleading the public," she said. "I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but they gave the impression that no state allows infanticide — that no state ... would allow for the harm of abortion survivors, and that is completely incorrect. There's actually 15 states that don't have born alive life protections on the books, including Tim Law's state of Minnesota." Hear her explain.
