RFK Jr’s announcement sent shockwaves throughout social media, with users dubbing the admission as yet another reason to not vote for him.

RFK: "I believe we should leave it to the woman, we shouldn't have the government involved."

Kennedy said, “Every abortion is a tragedy,” during an interview with Sage Steele.
“Many of them leave permanent trauma on a woman.”
“But I think, ultimately, I don’t trust government to have a jurisdiction over people’s bodies,” RFK added.
“I think we should leave it to the woman, her pastor, and y’know, her spiritual advisers or her physician or whatever to make those decisions.”
“I don’t think any woman has ever, ever in history, has said ‘I’m going to have a baby — I’m going to get pregnant and carry that baby to eight months of term and then I’m going to terminate the pregnancy,’” he continued.
“I don’t think anybody wants to do that,” RFK explained.
“I don’t trust the state and I think we need to trust the woman.”
TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk called RFK‘s comments a commitment to “China-style full-term abortion.”

“No Bible-believing, Jesus-following Christian should come remotely close to endorsing this guy for President.”

Steele then prompted RFK to clarify, asking him, “So in other words, keeping it as is, with Roe v. Wade having been overturned and leaving it up to the states to determine if and when a woman can have an abortion?”
RFK responded:
“I wouldn’t leave it to the states. I believe we should leave it to the woman, we shouldn’t have government involved.”
“Even if it’s full term,” Steele pressed, to which RFK confirmed, “Even if it’s full term.”
The news came after the New York Times reported that RFK received disturbing news while he was preparing for a hospital stay to undergo brain surgery for a tumor.
The doctors at the hospital suggested that the dark spots in his brain scans might be attributable to a worm rather than the tumor.
RFK recounted in the deposition the doctor’s belief that the dark spot “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.”
“I didn’t have RFK Jr. brain worms on my bingo card today,” posted one user.
I didn't have RFK Jr. brain worms on my bingo card today.
