Howard Schultz: Pro-choice advocate for all of my life

The most compelling questions ultimately came from online viewers, who asked, among other things, whether Schultz was pro-life or pro-choice. "I have been an advocate of being pro-choice for all of my life," Schultz said, awkwardly, explaining that he doesn't think abortion will be an issue in 2020. He then quickly pivoted to his Jewish identity and Israeli-Palestinian relations.

Donald Trump: Falsely claims Democrats want to execute babies after birth

Things got heated when Trump was named by the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America organization's president, who condemned his stance as "morally indefensible" after claiming abortion "is an issue that should be decided at the state level," instead of the national ban. But fighting back in his pre-recorded speech, Trump listed off a number of his so-called achievements to protect "religious liberty" and "the unborn." He also called himself the "most pro-life president in American history."

In one particularly deranged moment, Trump falsely claimed that Democratic politicians support the practice of executing babies after they've been born: "I will continue to stand strong against the extreme late-term abortionists, the Democrat party, who believe in abortion on demand in the ninth month of pregnancy, and even executing babies after birth. Beyond birth, executing the baby. This is where we've come and it's so sad to see."
