Tony Dungy Calls Out NAACP For False Claims On Abortion During Debate

Former NFL coach Tony Dungy criticized 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, in response to Trump’s criticism of Democrats’ abortion policies, tweeted, “You cannot have an abortion in the 9th month,” which Dungy called inaccurate.

Dungy, a vocal Christian and pro-life advocate, took to social media to correct the NAACP. He pointed out that Florida will vote on Amendment 4 this November, which, if passed, would allow for unrestricted late-term abortions, making Florida the 10th state with such laws. “Please don’t distort the facts to make a point,” Dungy tweeted in response.

Trump’s debate comments referenced a 2019 statement by a Democratic governor who suggested that discussions about ending a newborn’s life could take place after birth. This sparked the NAACP’s tweet, which downplayed the reality of late-term abortion laws in several states.

Dungy later clarified that his concern was about presenting facts accurately, not debating the reasons or timing of abortions. His correction of the NAACP’s false claim reflects his long-standing pro-life stance, which he has expressed in previous debates on the issue.

With the upcoming vote on Amendment 4, the debate over abortion continues to heat up, and Dungy’s call for honesty in discussing the facts remains an important part of the conversation.
