3rd Presidential Debate 10/15: Will there be a question about infanticide?
YES
There is discussion of partial birth abortions specifically.
Settlement details says anything related to abortion counts and there was specifically a moderator question about RoevsWade/Supreme Court justices.

Background:
The issue arose when, as Freddoso notes. Christ Hospital in the Chicago area got outed for leaving these infants to die after a nurse blew the whistle on the hospital. An investigation determined the truth of the allegations, and the Illinois legislature debated on whether infants born alive during abortions should be considered persons and require practitioners to provide care for them. Obama, even with a redundant “neutrality clause” attached to the bill, said no. In fact, he voted no three separate times on this question.
