And Donald Trump paid a woman to kill his own unborn child. Want me to show you, again?
CLAIM: "Joe Biden, he supports taxpayer funding of abortion, right up to the moment of birth."
FACT CHECK: Biden has not explicitly expressed support for late-term abortions.

Joe Biden supports the right of unlimited abortion, funded by the taxpayers, up until the moment of birth.
It’s a position that remains
exceptionally unpopular with the majority of voters, so “factcheckers” have been super busy during this Republican National Convention trying to confuse the issue. Ramesh Ponnuru has already debunked abortion “factchecks” from the
Washington Post and
New York Times.
The
Post was back at it tonight, taking exception with Sister Deirdre Byrne’s contention that a Biden-Harris ticket supports “the horrors of late-term abortion and infanticide”:
Biden does not support “late-term abortion and infanticide.” He supports abortion rights and says he would codify in statute the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade and related precedents, which generally limit abortions to the first 20 to 24 weeks of gestation.
None of the above conflicts with Byrne’s contention. For one thing, the words “generally limit” do a lot of heavy lifting.
The Post notes that only “1 percent” of abortions “happen after the fetus reaches the point of viability.” What the
Post avoids saying is that
more than 8,000 viable fetuses, and probably more than 10,000
on the cusp of viability, are aborted every year.
