You're saying that a white male Protestant Supreme Court did not produce the calumny, the genocide that was Roe? That the Roe decision didn't happen?

Donald Trump has repeatedly taken credit for the US Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to revoke a constitutional right to abortion care, a landmark ruling that has upended abortion access for millions of Americans in the months that followed.
Within his one four-year term, the former president appointed three conservative justices to the nine-member panel, tilting the court’s ideological balance in a promised effort to achieve a long-held Republican goal of overturning the 1973 decision in Roe v Wade.
The conservative majority’s decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization has proved unpopular with most Americans and has fuelled victories in several Democratic campaigns and ballot measures to protect abortion rights.
In remarks to a crowd of supporters at a South Dakota rally on 8 September, the former president – who once said “I’m the one that got rid of Roe v Wade” – admitted that the Supreme Court decision has “probably cost” the GOP politically.
“Last year, those justices bravely and incredibly ruled on something that everybody has wanted for decades,” Mr Trump said. “They ruled to end Roe v Wade. That was a big thing. And it’s probably cost us politically, because the other side got energised.”
Mr Trump, who has touted himself as the “most pro-life president in American history” while promising capital punishment against drug offenders and human traffickers, is among Republican candidates jockeying for the GOP’s 2024 nomination while navigating the post-Roe landscape of anti-abortion activism – and proposals for a national ban – against widespread opposition to anti-abortion laws.
He has previously called Ron DeSantis’s Florida ban on abortion access at six weeks of pregnancy “too harsh,” drawing a rare rebuke from an influential anti-abortion group. Mr Trump has avoided saying directly whether he would sign legislation to ban abortion nationally. ***

It’s shame. bad law is bad law. There are thousands of bad decisions that need to be overthrown. Trump will lose PA because of the abort baby killers in both Dem and republican parties.
IN the long run-—IT isn’t the biggest problem the USA has.
“It was the right thing to do, popular or unpopular does not matter.”
As is sometimes (often?) the case, doing the right thing can be costly. You may lose support. Friends. Money. A job. Etc.
The decision to return the issue of abortion to the states is a temporary fix to prevent the rupture of the Union, like the Missouri Compromise. Ultimately, the issue of abortion is a moral one that will need to be resolved. Trump is right; there was a political price, because there are too many Americans without proper moral formation. I still am happy to be on the right side of the argument.
leave it with the states or amend the Constitution.
"Abortion-on-demand under Roe would have never existed in the United States if it were not for a demonic Protestant SCOTUS who brought the calumny of Roe to bear as a stain upon the soul of the United States.It took a Catholic SCOTUS majority -- courtesy of President Trump -- to undo what mouth-breathing, evil Protestants shamefully brought into existence in Roe v Wade, and 63 million dead babies later:
- Warren Earl Burger - Presbyterian
- William O. Douglas - Presbyterian
- Harry Blackmun - not just a Methodist, but one who held national church offices like the UMC National Board of Publications
- Potter Stewart - Episcopalian
- Thurgood Marshall - Episcopalian
- Lewis F. Powell, Jr. - Presbyterian
Exactly, I have often wondered what the Republicans stand for since they hardly ever fight for anything.
Keeping the black population down was always the reason that Democrats wanted and continue to fight for unlimited abortion.
You’re saying protestant means pro-abortion?
There are times I question Trump’s faith.
Before you do that, you should question your access to rational thought.

That should have been the primary stance once it became a DEM issue. No matter how Americans feel about abortion, partial birth abortion is universally disliked except with the hardcore leftists.
Trump is saying the right thing was done and it may have hurt us. That is okay. We are to do what is right.
The uniparty ones are easy to spot.
If they are in leadership roles, almost certain, yup.
Any younger ones sucking up to leadership ones, 100% certain, yup.
Any that talk about the joys of bipartisan anything, 100% yup.
Americans are too morally weak to have any serious ban on abortion. Might as well try to ban obscenity and obesity...it’s just not going to happen. The country isn’t what it was just a few decades ago.
Trump is right in that it did cost the GOP politically.
However, abortion is not a “political” issue. It is a moral issue and a matter of whether or not you agree with murdering children. The left cannot understand that since every position they take is a political one.
Trump is right on both positions. You can agree that the abortion issue cost the GOP but also agree that abortion is evil and wrong and being politically against it is the right position to take.
Yahoo news?
He is right about both. He gets credit for ending it. It cost us politically.
Wrong that it’s a political defeat.
