PolitiFact slammed Roy Moore’s wife Kayla Moore as “False” for saying at a rally that Alabama’s Democratic Senate candidate Doug Jones supports “full-term abortion.” They concluded “Moore measured Jones against a term that is disconnected from reality.”
During his campaign, Jones has stood with Planned Parenthood, the nation’s loudest and largest advocate of abortion on demand. On September 23, Jones posted a photo on Instagram with the caption: “Proud to be with Alabama House Minority Leader Anthony Daniels as he accepts a Champion of Women’s Health Award from Planned Parenthood #WePersist”.
PolitiFact reproduced what Jones said to Chuck Todd on MSNBC’s MTP Daily on September 27:

PolitiFact reproduced what Jones said to Chuck Todd on MSNBC’s MTP Daily on September 27:
TODD: What are the limitations that you believe should be in the law when it comes to an abortion?
JONES: I am a firm believer that a woman should have the freedom to choose what happens to her own body. And I’m going to stand up for that, and I’m going to make sure that continues to happen. I want to make sure that as we go forward, people have access to contraception, they have access to the abortion that they might need, if that’s what they choose to do. I think that’s an issue that we can work with and talk to people about on both sides of the aisle.
TODD: So you wouldn’t be in favor of legislation that said, ban abortion after 20 weeks or something like that?
JONES: I’m not in favor of anything that is going to infringe on a woman’s right and her freedom to choose.
What part of that doesn’t say abortion on demand? When it became a controversy in Alabama, Jones added “I support the current law on a woman’s freedom to choose, which has been in place for decades, where late-term abortions are permitted to protect the life or health of the mother.”
This would imply the original language in the Roe vs. Wade companion case Doe vs. Bolton, but abortion advocates define “health of the mother” very broadly to “well-being” — meaning “she can have one if she wants one.” Jones is running for U.S. Senate, so he was telling Todd that on Senate bills, he’s going to stand with Planned Parenthood on the “no infringing” on abortion rights.
