"Right now, in a number of states, the laws allow a baby to be born from his or her mother’s womb in the ninth month. It is wrong. It has to change." Presumably, he meant to say 'torn' rather than 'born' but still, Twitter had a field day.“Right now, in a number of states, the laws allow a baby to be born from his or her mother’s womb in the ninth month.

In the same speech he also decried the country's abortion laws as "some of the most permissive laws anywhere in the world." The laws differ between different states but 19 states allow late-term abortions where the health of the mother is at risk while several require a second doctor's opinion for a late-term termination to be approved, according to the Guttmacher Institute. Fatal health concerns are the number one reason for late-term terminations in the US, according to Quartz.I’m not surprised because it is equally believable that he either misspoke or genuinely doesn’t understand basic human biology
