Speaking to reporters after his meeting with Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Tuberville recounted their discussion on abortion and recalled asking Kennedy about his positions passed in support of abortion rights.
Tuberville said Kennedy’s view is that “whatever President Trump” decides on abortion, “I will support him 100 percent.”
Tuberville noted that Trump’s position is against abortion, with three exceptions. The president-elect has itsaid previouslythe exceptions to the abortion restrictions are “very important,” including the life of the mother, rape, and incest.
Recalling his discussion with Kennedy, Tuberville said:“I just asked him, “You’ve been pro-abortion in the past,” and he said, well, basically, he and President Trump sat down and talked about it, and they both came to an agreement : “Hey. , Roe-Wade is gone, it’s gone to the states, let the people vote for it.”
“And that’s been mine all along,” Tuberville said of her views on abortion. “I’m pro-life, but I’m glad that American citizens have the opportunity to vote in their state, and he’s the same way.”
Tuberville left the meeting with Kennedy on Tuesday saying, “It went well, very positive. He’s upbeat,” adding that it was “fun talking to him about his family.”
Tuberville said he also spoke with Kennedy about Alabama farmers and that while they are “very concerned about food and food security,” the government “shouldn’t overreach where we can’t have good crops.” And I can understand that, and he’s very much on board.”
“He understands that our farmers are in trouble and we want to make sure that we have farmers who can make a living and that we don’t lose our family farms,” Tuberville said.
