I say the following as a matter of Realpolitik, not as a statement of personal beliefs.

Trump's advisors will likely tell him to blow off any objections that may arise from pro-life groups. And, given their apparent strategy of trying to soften Trump's image, that's the smart thing for them to do.

Pro-lifers, faced with the choice of somebody who is apparently soft on the subject of life and somebody who is radically pro-abortion will obviously go with the former.

The dems are too stupid to bring up Trump's past before he evolved into being pro-life (sort of). The reason why is because, as a party, they are far too ideological and would view that as making him more acceptable to moderates and their own party members. Given the Hildabeast's horrible likeability, they don't want to do ANYTHING to make the Donald more acceptable to their base...even though it would destroy his support among social conservatives.

The point is that they are going to blow off pro-lifers from this point moving forward...and I would imagine this to be doubly the case once the primaries next week are over.

We need to double down our support for Trump going forward so that the dems know that they won't be able to fracture his base (and I say that as a non-supporter).

Remember: what Mr. Trump believes or doesn't believe is utterly irrelevant at this point. We have made our collective choice in the matter and now we have to live with that choice. The only thing that is important is defeating the Hildabeast.

That's not what I've seen, for the case of a soft Republican versus a radical pro-abort Dem. There are pro-Lifers, including here on FR, who would rather the Dem win. They figure that if they can block soft Repubs from being elected, that eventually the Repubs will nominate a hard-line pro-Lifer.

That never happen, though, since the GOP Establishment would rather lose than oppose the Dems in any fundamental way.

The choice is not yet made and the more Trump outs himself as a liberal the more I hope for a brokered convention. Eventually conservatives infatuated with Trump will wake up - I pray before its too late.

I’ll agree with you Trump is fun to watch. He would make a great Vegas act.

You are absolutely correct. The pre-born genocidal shedding of innocent blood is not on his website and never has been.

Rape and incest abortions protect the rapists and incestuous. Abortionists are not going to report pregnancies due to rape or incest because they are their investors!
