Up until at least his mid-50s, Trump supported gays in the military and all forms of abortion, including partial birth.

In continuing his "New York values" line of attack, Ted Cruz brought up an interview Donald Trump gave years ago in which he himself emphasized his New York background as being important to his political philosophy. And now we have that interview.
Cruz's campaign posted the video earlier today of Trump with Tim Russert on Meet the Press in 1999.
Russert asked Trump about gay marriage. Trump didn't want to comment on it, but said he has no problem with gays in the military.
He explained, "I've lived in New York City and Manhattan all my life, okay? So my views are a little bit different than if I lived in Iowa."
When Russert asked Trump about abortion, he said he's "pro-choice in every respect" and again cited his New York background, which he said has a "different attitude" from most of the country.
...in a Cruz ad I heard the other day, they said Trump supported partial birth at age 60!
Des Moines Register: Cruz Ran A “Campaign Of Deceit”
The Des Moines Register is running a scathing editorial against Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, accusing him of running a “campaign of deceit.”
“Frankly, it’s hard to square the dishonest campaign tactics of Ted Cruz with his oft-stated support for Christian values,” the editorial reads. “Then again, it’s hard to square Cruz himself with such values.”
