The problem for us is that abortion will engage more women than any other topic, and the majority of those now engaged women will work and vote against Trump. Those of us already planning to vote for him won’t change, but the numbers will.
Here’s the comments from one of the nations top pro life leaders on Trump’s abortion stand and I think it would make sense to adapt this for all prolifers
Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone Responds to Trump Statement on Abortion:
Abolishing abortion begins by getting Democrats out of office
TITUSVILLE, FL - Priests for Life National Director Frank Pavone today thanked President Donald Trump for his statement on abortion released on his Truth Social account.
“As I said in my remarks recently at Mar-a-Lago, Donald J. Trump has been, and will be again, the most pro-life president our country has seen. He has not wavered on any of the pro-life positions or executive actions he has taken (including depriving the abortion industry of federal funds), or judges he has appointed, and we will again see such progress in a second term.
“President Trump is rightly proud of his role in the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Roe blocked the American people from protecting the unborn. Now, we can protect them again, and are doing so.
“By invoking ‘the will of the people,’ President Trump is pointing to the fact that courts are not here to impose a dogma of abortion-on-demand. Rather, the courts should step out of the way so that the people can have an open and honest debate about abortion. That’s what we will continue to do.
“President Trump’s announcement of the abortion policy he would pursue as president calls to mind the drafting of the U.S. Constitution at a time when slavery was still legal,” Pavone said. “The Founders understood that they could not get the Constitution ratified if it contained an absolute anti-slavery position. They needed to get the nation started.
“But with the Constitution they did adopt, they put in place the very mechanism by which slavery was in fact ultimately abolished.
“President Trump is taking a similar stance. We have to save the nation by winning this election. Right now we have a nation divided on abortion. But by saving the nation itself from destruction by the Democrats – by saving the Constitution, free and fair elections, freedom of speech and religion, and by stopping the extremism of the Democrats on abortion — we will in fact preserve the very mechanism by which we can continue to build a culture of life.
“I thank the President for his statement but I don’t expect him to do my job; I expect him to do his. My job and the job of the pro-life movement is to lay out the moral absolute of the right to life, which does not admit of compromise. Pro-life leaders, meeting recently for strategic planning, issued this joint statement that reflects the pro-life work that needs to be done in the next seven months.
“We look forward to continuing to work together with President Trump and countless citizens to leading our nation to ever greater fidelity to its founding principle that governments are instituted precisely to preserve the unalienable right to life.”
