Robert F. Kennedy Jr. expressed support for the concept of "full-term abortion" during a May 2024 interview with podcaster Sage Steele. When asked whether women should have the right to choose an abortion up until full term, Kennedy stated that he believed the decision should rest with women rather than the state, although he later clarified that he did not think women would seek abortions at eight months of pregnancy.
Following backlash, Kennedy walked back his stance, stating that he supports abortion rights only until the point of fetal viability, which typically occurs around 23 to 24 weeks of pregnancy.
