Democrat Hassan calls out RFK's past comments on women's reproductive rights
Sen. Maggie Hassan brought up previous comments Kennedy made as recently as 2023 where he expressed support for women's right to reproductive rights, which conflicts with his latest stance that "every abortion is a tragedy."
The New Hampshire Democrat pressed Kennedy on why he made this change so quickly.
"I agree with President Trump. Every abortion is a tragedy," Kennedy answered repeatedly.

"What you're telling is regardless of what you believe … if President Trump tells you do something you’re going to do it," Hassan said.
"What you're telling us is, if President Trump orders you to take action to make it harder for women to get dire, needed health care, you'll follow his order," she added.
