Ripping Babies Out (Off)

[From Mother Jones ‘Rip the baby out of the womb': What Donald Trump got wrong about abortion in America]

During the final presidential debate Wednesday, Donald Trump blasted Hillary Clinton’s stance on abortion, employing graphic language to describe the late-term procedures he argued his opponent would allow.

“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,” Trump said.

“That is not what happens in these cases,” Clinton replied. “And using that kind of scare rhetoric is just terribly unfortunate.” Political rhetoric aside, Trump displayed a misunderstanding of how abortion works in the United States. [End of 'Rip the baby out of the womb' ]

But that's not what I want to say today to all the believers who are voting for Trump.

Maybe Trump won't rip babies out of the womb but Donald is about cutting (ripping) off a sick infant's health coverage that was crucial for his grandnephew, who suffered from seizures and later developed cerebral palsy.

Did you know that he gave his word that after his father's death he would continue to pay "all costs" for the sick child's care should be covered, regardless of caps on the plan or medical necessity.

The story begins after the death of Trump's father, Fred Sr., in 1999. As David Cay Johnston explains in his book The Making of Donald Trump, Fred Sr. had written a will after the death of his oldest son, Fred Jr., known as Freddy, in 1981. The will left the majority of Fred Sr.'s wealth to Donald and his surviving siblings. Freddy's family was largely cut out.

When Fred Sr. died, Freddy's children sued, claiming that the will "had been 'procured by fraud and undue influence' by Donald and the other surviving siblings," according to Johnston.

Johnston writes that medical insurance had consistently been provided to the family through Fred Sr.'s company. This coverage was crucial for Freddy's grandson (Donald's grandnephew), who suffered from seizures and later developed cerebral palsy. So crucial, in fact, that a letter sent from a Trump lawyer to the insurer after the patriarch's death in 1999 said that "all costs" for the sick child's care should be covered, regardless of caps on the plan or medical necessity, according to Johnston.

A week after the lawsuit was filed in court, Freddy's son (Donald's nephew) received a letter informing him that the health insurance would be discontinued, meaning his ill son would be left without coverage. Donald openly admitted to the New York Daily News that he and his siblings took this action out of revenge.

"Why should we give him medical coverage?" Trump said, adding, "They sued my father, essentially. I'm not thrilled when someone sues my father."
