former president Trump claimed that vice president kamla Harris's running mate Governor Tim Walls supports abortion up until after birth what Trump may have been referring to specifically is a bill that walls signed as governor in 2023 this was legislation that amended the language and estate law that really upset pro-life activists in Minnesota and across the country in this revised language the bill now says that all medical personnel must quote care for any infant who is born alive after an attempted abortion instead of being required to quote preserve the life and health of the born alive infant there isn't data on how many infants have survived abortion attempts but we do know that the latest figures from the CDC show that 9% of abortions occur at 21 weeks or later in pregnancy which is around the time that a fetus is generally considered viable
