Simply put, Trump is correct. It has cost us and it will cost us in Virginia this November and next year too nationally.

Being right has its costs.

People are stupid and immoral. And they get the government they deserve.

Bingo! Me too. I am sick of people trying to accept a false premise and then arguing over it. When the premise is false, the discussion ends.

I have voted Republican for more than 50 years.

Roe v. Wade was definitely unconstitutional, but its repeal has hurt the GOP politically.

I have stayed publicly neutral on the abortion issue, at the state level, because I am not a woman, and I will never be pregnant.

If I were a woman, I would support abortion for the first trimester, in my home state, because I would want that option as a woman, even though that option is morally wrong.

One final political point...

Close to 60% of USA abortions are now induced by medication - not surgery.

Many women, perhaps most women, do not feel that medication induced abortions, in the first trimester, are the same thing as a surgical abortion.

This is the first time in 23 years that I have expressed a political opinion about abortion at Free Republic.

The government should just say “NO”, it’s not in their power to outlaw or to approve abortion. This really is a personal decision that is determined by where you are at that time, and hopefully you will keep the child.

‘Trump will lose PA because of the abort baby killers in both Dem and republican parties.’

Trump has no path to victory without PA...

Not worth it, how many freedoms will be lost due to Democrats taking power because of it. Someone who wants an abortion can just go to a state that they are legal in.

This is pretty much the bottom line. Will there be a national abortion ban? Nope! In that case, the net outcome of this push to ban abortion on the state level is a loss of GOP seats across the board. President Trump is stating the obvious.

No, I’m not saying that.

LOL- hopefully it wasn't traumatic and you won't feel a need for another decade or so.

With that said, yours was an excellent take across the board. Thanks for the thoughtful comments.

Admitting there has been a cost does not amount to saying it was a mistake
God knows the lives that have been saved

But are you saying protestant means pro-abortion?

1. The opinion of women on abortion carries no more weight than that of men.

2. Murder with a chemical is no different ethically than murder with a physical instrument.

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, voter referendums on abortion restrictions have been overwhelmingly defeated everywhere they’ve been on a ballot — including in some of the most heavily Republican states

Some abortion protection measures are even being put into state constitutions. I don’t believe most of these would’ve happened without the Uniparty’s stupid ( and impossible) threat to make a constitutional amendment to outlaw all abortions.

We conservatives live in a parallel universe from people who think that ending the life of an unborn baby is ok.

When we attempt to communicate a point to the extent that we devise an entire post to that end, the point itself should have a reasonable amount of substance.

No it’s not a temporary fix. It’s the solution we have been asking for since the Roe ruling. The Constitution says those powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

That’s where it was before Roe and that’s where it need to be decided. O if you don’t like what your state decides you are free to relocate. Most of the idiots running around screaming about their right to choice live in a state that murders babies up until the moment of birth.

There is no federal ban. You sound like a Democrat operative.

Is abortion legal in PA? If so why would he lose votes?

Take heed!!!!

2 Chronicles 7:14
King James Version

14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Is political expediency better than choosing what is righteous in the eyes of the Lord?

tens of millions of murdered babies and now the question becomes which can win more votes!

Maybe it’s time to become a Christian nation!

People like you always say the Republicans need to surrender and do what Democrats say, but they reality is that even when the Republicans give in completely, they are still described as more radical than ever.
