Former NFL coach Tony Dungy called out the NAACP for spreading false information about abortion laws during Tuesday’s presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The NAACP tweeted, “You cannot have an abortion in the 9th month,” a claim Dungy quickly corrected.
Dungy, known for his strong Christian faith and pro-life advocacy, pointed out that Florida will vote on Amendment 4 this November, which would allow late-term abortions without any restrictions. Dungy urged the NAACP to avoid misleading the public, tweeting, “Please don’t distort the facts to make a point.”
Trump had referenced a controversial 2019 statement from a Democratic governor who suggested that post-birth decisions about a newborn’s life could be discussed. The NAACP attempted to discredit Trump’s claim, but Dungy highlighted the fact that abortion laws in several states allow for late-term procedures, a reality that the NAACP downplayed.
Dungy clarified his criticism by saying he was focused on ensuring that facts about abortion laws were accurately presented. He emphasized the importance of truthfulness, especially with the looming vote on Amendment 4 in Florida.
Dungy’s call for factual accuracy underscores his long-standing commitment to pro-life values and his belief in the importance of honest debate on critical issues like abortion.
