Sigh.  The Washington Post is not exactly known as an unbiased news source.

That said, Trump could have cited the moderator's bias when it came to fact checking, and how even with that bias, their facts were wrong.  There are already a few well-known examples where the moderators so-called facts were incorrect (or half-true).  It's almost as if ABC News knew the question, knew the answer that it thought was correct, and was prepared to fact check Trump if he gave anything but that allegedly correct answer.  ABC News should apologize for getting its fact checks wrong, but it won't.[/quote]

What facts did the moderators get wrong?  These are definitely not well known. [/quote]

The VP made several statements that were incorrect and should have been fact checked by the moderators.  But the most negligent thing they did was not getting answers from the VP on her policy flips and the economy.  This was the one and only time voters will see her questioned and they were unable to get answers from her on WHY the 180 degrees flip on the border wall, immigration, mandatory gun buybacks, fracking, and most importantly whether the American people are better off today than four years ago. Voters know Trump is scum.  But they don’t know Kamala at all.  [/quote]
You didn’t answer the question. PP specifically the moderators gave incorrect facts when they were factchecking Trump. Please provide an example of an incorrect fact they provided when factchecking him.[/quote]
Still waiting for someone to respond to this[/quote]

It’s an uncomfortable subject to talk about. But from the Minnesota Department of Health indicates that eight babies were born alive following botched abortions during Walz’s time as governor, three in 2019 and five in 2021. Only three of the infants, one in 2019 and two in 2021, were reported to have received “comfort care measures.” None of the infants survived. That, plus comments from former Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, who said that he supported measures in which “the infant would be kept comfortable” after birth until the mother decided what to do.  Also, the a state legislators across the country that have pushed legislation removing all limits on the procedure.

Trump made a mess of his answer, as usual. But this isn’t as cut and dry an issue that most people think.  So for the ABC moderator to jump in with a voice of God answer (ironically) was incorrect and inappropriate. [/quote]

Actually, most people don’t think this is anything other than difficult, painful, and complex decisions. That’s why they should be made by a woman and her doctor and anyone else that she would like to involve— not by politicians, and particularly not by politicians who are unlikely to get pregnant themselves but who are all too willing to legislate the behaviors of others within the confines of their own skewed beliefs.

I would address your comments more directly— but you left a lot out, perhaps deliberately. “Babies born alive following botched abortions “ sounds truly heartbreaking and horrific. What’s missing, when you lump them altogether is the details about each individual situation and experiences.  Babies mature enough to be born alive suggests horrendous complications— along the lines of pregnant girls whose bodies would be irreparably damaged by the birth process, or babies whose conditions would result in torturous deaths shortly after birth.  It would be informative if you could provide some links to the actual concerns behind the numbers.
