Watch: DeSantis is wrong on abortion. Again
Fox News personality and former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany interviewed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this week, offering him an opportunity to look compassionate and humane—by Republican standards—on abortion. In a strenuous effort to make the case that “one thing that the pro-life movement is about is supporting vulnerable women,” McEnany asked DeSantis if he supported ideas like a bill from Sen. Marco Rubio entitling pregnant women to child support “from the moment of conception,” which would, she said, “force states to force men to give women what they’re due.” DeSantis was happy to take the half-baked prompt and run with it.
“These men, look, most of these women do not want to have abortions,” DeSantis responded, “but they feel like they have no other options, because they get no support, and that’s because a lot of these men are nowhere to be found. They should absolutely be providing support; they should absolutely be held accountable.”
