Right-wing media and abortion opponents singled out this comment from Warren as an opportunity to attack the Democratic candidates on abortion. That comes as no surprise as during the 2020 election cycle, those same people and outlets have pushed sensationalized lies about Democratic candidates supporting “infanticide” and “born-alive” abortions. In fact, on the same day of the debate, Senate Republicans held votes on two anti-abortion bills meant to help them and their right-wing media allies attack Democrats as out of touch with voters -- a “scandal” created whole cloth from right-wing misinformation.
