“I think it’s terrible if you go with what Hillary is saying in the ninth month you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth of the baby,” Trump said.
"In the 9th month, you can rip the baby out of the womb of the mother...."

In the 9th month, in the last day, you could rip the baby out--at that point its called Birth or a C-section #ImWithHer #debatenight
