Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has declared that abortions should be freely available up until birth without any laws or restrictions imposed by federal or state governments.
Kennedy argues that “we should leave it to the woman” to choose whether to have an abortion, “even if it’s full term.”
“We shouldn’t have the government involved,” RFK Jr. insists.
WATCH:
The comment from Kennedy is the latest radical statement from the former Democrat presidential candidate.
While running in the Democrat primary, Kennedy pitched himself as a more centrist option than President Joe Biden, who many feel has gone too far left.
In 2020 and 2021, Kennedy became a vocal opponent of Covid vaccine mandates as they were rolled out across the country.
Kennedy found a receptive audience among many conservatives for his vehement opposition to the tyrannical measures.
Through his nonprofit Children’s Health Defense, RFK Jr. railed against vaccine mandates and other pandemic restrictions, such as masking and lockdowns.
As noted by The Associated Press, this is a platform that resonated with conservatives.
In October, RJK Jr. announced he was running for president as an independent candidate.
A Politico analysis of his campaign finances a month later revealed that he was drawing more support from past Republican donors than Democrats.
Many donors saw him as conservative-leaning because of his strong stance against vaccine mandates.
However, Kennedy’s political stances are far from conservative.
During an interview with podcast host Sage Steele released on Wednesday, he made one of the most radical statements ever made by any presidential candidate.
He was asked whether he would support states deciding “if and when a woman can have an abortion” following the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
Kennedy responded, “I wouldn’t leave it to the states.”
“You wouldn’t?” the former ESPN host asked him.
“You would say completely — it’s up to the woman?”
“I believe we should leave it to the woman,” Kennedy responded.
“We shouldn’t have government involved.”
“Even if it’s full term?” Steele pressed.
“Even if it’s full term,” Kennedy declared.

Kennedy recently announced that his running mate is radical Democrat megadonor Nicole Shanahan.
Shanahan is the wealthy ex-wife of Google co-founder and Jeffrey Epstein’s “Pedophile Island” guest Sergey Brin.
She has long supported leftist causes such as the “defund the police” movement while funding soft-on-crime prosecutors such as Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon.

However, even Shanahan was shocked by Kennedy’s blatant admission that he’s in favor of removing all restrictions on abortions, even on full-term babies, according to NBC News.
A week before the podcast episode was released, Shanahan also made an appearance on Steele’s podcast and was asked whether she supported Kennedy’s views on abortion.
“My understanding with Bobby’s position is that, you know, every abortion is a tragedy, is a loss of life,” she said.
“My understanding is that he absolutely believes in limits on abortion, and we’ve talked about this.”

While Kennedy’s comment about his stance on abortion may be his most shocking admission yet, many of his opinions are entirely antithetical to the conservative cause.
One only has to glance at his campaign website to understand how far left the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy is.
For instance, the original “Racial Healing” page said federal tax dollars should be set aside to rebuild “black infrastructure” that was targeted by “racists.”
It has been updated to say, “Increased access to investment capital for a robust, self-sustaining black business infrastructure.”
On “police reform,” Kennedy’s website said his administration would “reorient police to serve, not occupy, black communities; to keep neighborhoods safe rather than harassing their residents.”
That too has been revised and now has four different bullet points.
His website also says he would “[m]ake student debt dischargeable in bankruptcy and cut interest rates on student loans to zero.”
Implement some form of student debt relief. Allow student debt to be dischargeable in bankruptcy. Cut interest rates on student loans to zero.

As Slay News recently reported, a video also emerged of Kennedy giving a speech to a Democrat crowd about “red state people.”
In the video, RFK Jr. is seen making disparaging comments about Republicans during a 2005 IdeaCity speech.
During the speech, Kennedy makes false and derogatory claims about Americans in red states.
RFK Jr. told the crowd:
“Red state people are more likely to murder you, to impregnate your teenage daughter, to commit a violent crime against you, to commit a nonviolent crime against you, to watch ‘Desperate Housewives’ on TV, to buy pornography, to buy degenerate video games like ‘Grand Theft Auto.’”
