Fact check: Are ‘born alive’ babies really unprotected in some US states?

President of US anti-abortion rights group claims protections for babies born alive after abortions have been repealed. But is that really true?

During the September 10 presidential debate in Philadelphia, former President Donald Trump falsely claimed his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris’s running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, supports “execution after birth”.

ABC News moderator Linsey Davis rebutted Trump’s statement, saying, “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born.”

The day after the debate, some social media posts said the moderator was wrong.
