“If you go with what Hillary is saying, in the ninth month, you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth of the baby...you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month on the final day. And that's not acceptable. Nobody has business doing what I just said, doing that, as late as one or two or three or four days prior to birth.”

Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Independently re-verified all four cited sources; every one is real, live, and supports the outcome. (1) The White House archive statement was fetched directly and confirms Trump's exact words: 'I called on the Senate to pass the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act' and 'I urge the Senate to reconsider its decision.' (2) The Washington Post confirms the House passed the 20-week ban 237-189 on Oct 3, 2017, with the White House issuing a Statement of Administration Policy that Trump would sign it. (3) Multiple outlets (CBS, Fox, CNN, Time, CNBC) confirm Trump's 2019 State of the Union call on Congress to ban late-term abortion. (4) Executive Order 13952 ('Born-Alive,' Sept 25, 2020) is confirmed via the govinfo.gov primary record. The 2016 statement's underlying commitment was to oppose/ban late-term ('ninth month') abortion; as president Trump drove that effort across years via official Administration policy, two SOTU addresses, formal statements urging Senate passage, and an executive order -- active leadership well beyond a single supporting vote. A federal late-term ban was never enacted (the 20-week bill died 51-46 in the Senate on cloture), so not FULL. Nonpartisan fairness test: a Democratic president who used the bully pulpit, SOTU, official statements, and an executive order to push a stated goal Congress never passed would equally earn CHAMPIONED; no partisan leniency or harshness present. Outcome and confidence stand.
