Someone should invite the pro-life groups to “Ethical Consistency 101.”
Issues of Secondary Importance ping.
I’ve attended the MFL in DC at least a dozen times. I’ve stood outside PP and verbally abused. But we have bigger fish to fry at this point.
Kasich is pro-life except in cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is in danger.
Same as Trump but these sites have proven they are political in nature.
I wonder if I should be surprised this thread hasn’t been deleted.
What a great idea! I hope Trump goes for it.
This is tone deaf and divisive.
We are a Nation of many people with many opinions. We need to have an honest conversation and referendum to decide where we will set the line. In no case should anyone be required to perform, assist at or pay for an abortion that is against their conscience. No profit motive can be allowed to commercialize the unborn and expose them to the horrors we have recently seen on video. Research aims do not sanitize murder and torture. Some research is never justified, other paths must be taken or eschewed.
Trump does not need to adhere to some “Pro Life” ideal definition no more than he needs to be a “conservative” according to someone’s definition. Trump thinks abortion is wrong but legal. He has vowed to defund PP if they perform abortions.
It is ridiculous to attack him for saying there must be some punishment for women who have abortions if abortions are illegal. He was not going after women he was responding to a theoretical situation in which if something is a crime there must be some consequence. Why else do girls who abandon their infants get charged but they don’t get charged if the infant never breathed in some states.
Pro life groups seem to be confused about to what extent abortion is murder. Perhaps that could be an explanation as to why their efforts have mostly not born fruit over the last 40 years.
”… some pro-lifers question his convictions on abortion, or even his knowledge of the topic, ..."
Speaking of knowledge of abortion, low-information pro-lifers need to get themselves up to speed on the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers so that they can start pointing out the following. The states have never delegated to the corrupt feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for abortions.
Trump needs to be educated about abortion. Most men don’t really understand the issue.
