Democratic 2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has walked back on a recent statement that he would institute a federal ban on abortion after three months of pregnancy.

“I believe a decision to abort a child should be up to the women during the first three months of life,” Mr. Kennedy told NBC News during an interview on Sunday. The Democrat candidate then confirmed that he supports capping abortions at three months. When asked whether this means he would sign a federal ban on abortion after three months, Mr. Kennedy replied, “Yes, I would.”
