Gov. Greg Abbott and challenger Beto O’Rourke clashed over a range of topics Friday night in their sole debate, not always with the facts on their side.
Some fact-checks:
Abortion
Abbott depicted O’Rourke as an extremist on abortion.
“He not only supports abortion of a fully developed child to the very last second before birth” but, said Abbott, he opposes “providing medical care for the baby who survives an abortion. He is for unlimited abortion at taxpayer expense.”
O’Rourke insisted “that’s not true.”
The claim about denying medical care for a baby who survives an abortion is based on a no vote O’Rourke cast in 2015 against a GOP-backed bill during his stint in the U.S. House.
