The Daily Beast ^ | April 6, 2016 | Betsy Woodruff

The formerly pro-choice Republican, already in deep trouble after talking about “punishment” for women, just ticked off a lot of conservative activists.

Donald Trump just blew off pro-life leaders exactly one week after he angered the movement by calling for “punishment” for abortion.

Trump was reportedly expected to address Priests for Life and the 115 Forum conference during a conference call on Wednesday. But he bailed. Leslie Palma, a spokesperson for Priests for Life, told The Daily Beast that Trump did not dial-in.

A conservative operative with knowledge of the call told The Daily Beast that pro-life leaders involved were disappointed Trump decided not to speak with them....

As they say at the site, seems like an "unforced error."

Trump cannot be trusted on the pro-life issue.

As a prolife advocate, I have been disappointed in comments from Right to Life lately......
....and Trump is right to be cautious with some of these organizations, ie....Operation Rescue....( which I previously respected)

Trump IS prolife!

“Trump cannot be trusted on the pro-life issue.”

Says the guy that posts pics of Trump knock offs then claims it as proof his items sold as “made in the USA” aren’t.

They do have some problems in the past especially with Father Frank Pavone in Texas some years ago. Perhaps more problems have popped up more recently. It doesn’t appear good for Trump but I don’t enough about them lately to make a judgement.

Fr. Pavone might be a good person, but he is also a spammer par excellence.

I am 100% anti-abortion, but honestly, I think we have more pressing issues to address as a country. e.g. the illegal immigration invasion and radical Islamic terrorism.

If we don't address these issue we won't have a country or a SCOTUS to worry about.

So Trump angered right to lifers by saying abortion should be punished if made illegal. Wow you can’t make this stuff up. Enjoy your circle jerk w the leftists, Cruz fans!

Good move for Trump.

Some of these antagonists won’t allow for rape, incest or other health conditions.

Purity ain’t taken us down this time ...

I don’t know, folks; but Trump seems to quite regularly flip his positions on so many issues, that I have no idea just what his fundamental beliefs are, as they seem to be always “evolving.” In that sense, he is a typical politician, and not an outsider.

I like, though, that he has so thoroughly pissed off the GOPe, and may even be the catalyst to collapse them.

However, Trump or Cruz, I will vote for whichever of them is the nominee. Neither is electable, but neither is anyone the reprehensible GOPe will thrust upon us.

I’m afraid we are headed into some dark times. I am not at all sanguine that this is going to end well.

Here is Ducking Donald dodging and deflecting when asked about his views on late-term abortion. This was on January 28 of this year:

Trump freaks out when asked about abortion again

And you wonder why pro-life conservatives do not trust Trump?

he careens from one position to another, unbound by any principle, all calculated for political expediency.

The one picture I posted of a “Make America Great Again” hat, when I discovered it was not from the Trump campaign, I asked to be deleted, and it was. So your attempt at discrediting has failed.

Trump exposed the many are just paid protesters... Three Catholics in succession have been Speaker of The House, where every nickel and dime to be spent by we the people gets authorization. None of these have cut planned parenthood funding.. But the many that suffer double mindedness cunningly hold Trump to a higher standard. Reap the whirlwind!
