Try not to get run over by Jen Psaki moving the goal post on Dem claims about late-term abortion

At the Republican presidential debate, Gov. Ron DeSantis pointed out that many Democrats support keeping it legal to abort a baby right up until the point of birth.
Third-trimester abortions must not poll well, because the immediate narrative from the Left was something Jen Psaki and many other Democrats claimed:
Jen Psaki (@jrpsaki) ~ No one supports abortion up until birth.
Oh really?
Obviously Psaki didn't like all the ensuing reality checks, because now the adage "if you're explaining you're losing" comes to mind because she's still spinning and you might be able to spot a slight pivot:
Jen Psaki (@jrpsaki) ~ The argument that Democrats are advocating for more late term abortions is completely misleading. I explain with lots of FACTS today ...

Notice how she says "advocating for more late-term abortions" instead of merely support making it legal everywhere.
Emily Jashinsky (@emilyjashinsky) ~ [i]Important correction from Psaki here: Democrats aren’t running on a platform of aborting viable babies. They’re running on a platform of *allowing for* the abortion of viable babies.
(This is, of course, what her critics were saying all along.)
Yep, Emily ... "Circle Back" Jen is clearly admitting that it all amounts to the same thing - Democrats are all for abortion right up to the point of birth. Psucki is pathetic.
"Rank dishonesty" detected, as usual!
Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) ~ This is rank dishonesty masquerading as scruples.
Yeah, but Democrats don't have scruples - for them, everything is relative.
"Rank dishonesty" was Psaki's job when she was Biden's press secretary and it's now a job requirement at MSNBC, and she's not disappointing them.
Kathy Wills (@thecatsblack) ~ So, Psaki lied. But, we already knew that.
As stated earlier, lying is Psaki's job.
Psaki a few days ago: No one supports abortion up until birth.
Psaki now: Yeah, Democrats support making/keeping it legal but none of us are saying it should happen more often.
Magister Joe (@joeeule) ~ So Democrats are in favor of late-term abortions but aren’t rooting for them. Got it.
If that spin doesn't make you dizzy, nothing will.
