Roy Moore spokesperson begins CNN interview by claiming Doug Jones wants to kill hosts unborn baby

Janet Porter, spokesman for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore, began a CNN interview on Tuesday by suggesting that Moore’s Democratic opponent, Doug Jones, supports killing the interviewer’s unborn baby.

“Thank you, it is great to be with you, and by the way, congratulations on your unborn child,” Porter said to host Poppy Marlow, who is pregnant. “That’s the reason I came down as a volunteer to speak for Judge Roy Moore, because he stands for the rights of babies like yours in the womb, where his opponent will support killing them until the moment of birth.”

Porter’s claim is false. Though Jones is pro-choice, he made clear during a recent interview with AL.com that he supports Alabama’s existing abortion laws, which ban most late-term abortions.

“To be clear, I fully support a woman’s freedom to choose to what happens to her own body. That is an intensely, intensely personal decision that only she, in consultation with her god, her doctor, her partner or family, that’s her choice,” Jones said. “Having said that, the law for decades has been that late-term procedures are generally restricted except in the case of medical necessity. That’s what I support. I don’t see any changes in that. It is a personal decision.”

Starting off with a blatant, disgusting lie should be grounds for that.

journalism or some form of media coverage is not about that revenue stream---------------it is about principles and ethics of the business model, you can listen to someone speak, but the minute that they go into loony toon mode, or the kool aid they drank goes into effect-------------------Goodbye

Good point.......................

womb right up to the moment of birth"... the moment of birth??...

"And then, once borne, the blessed child, if borne into poverty or not Christian or white, we give not a holy fuck."

"Also if borne in Alabama and female.....all bets are off, sayeth the Lord."
