JANUARY 2015

First he states he is in support of Abortion for Rape, Incest and Health of the Mother.

Then Trump was asked about a abortion by a woman being pregnant, and not from rape or incest, and Trump answered that it depends on how far along the baby is.

“It depends when”

INTERVIEWER: “So say a woman is pregnant, and it is not in any of those exceptions [rape/incest]categories, and she chooses to have an abortion” TRUMP: “it depends when, it depends when”

Christians Beware!

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ping!

[SoConPubbie]

Ted Cruz Ping - Of Interest!

[Borges]

‘age of the baby’? So you’re both admitting it’s a baby and saying that it’s OK to kill it?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I don’t want to vote for The Donald, but I do want him to continue lobbing hand-grenades into the Uniparty vipers’ nest so we can nominate Ted.

[C210N]

The problem with the donald, is that with the help of the enemedia, he is exhausting the air in the room.

I think Ted will be able to thrive in this environment, where others won’t be.

[Jeff Chandler]

It’s too early to take out our stalking horse, don’t you think?

[JohnKinAK]

You’re either for life, or your not. There is no “Depends”.

[boycott]

The other candidates aren’t going to do a damn thing about it.

They may offer some cheap and useless talk but they’re not going to do a damn thing about it.

If he would get rid of the taxpayer funding of abortion in obamacare, that would be a good start.

What are the others offering?

—

By the way, Cruz is still my favorite.

[South40]

Donald Trump is a lifelong liberal democRAT.

Those who support him for the Republican nomination do so with that knowledge.

[Will88]

The relevant question is: Mr. Trump, what sort of judges would you nominate for the US Supreme Court?

That’s the only place significant changes in abortion law might originate, as well as gay marriage and other issues.

[arthurus]

Pro-life except for that truckload of exceptions. I like the way it was stated- Pro life except (where anti-life). Pro-life except where he supports genetic cleansing.

[xzins]

He is asked about abortion and he says only rape, incest, life of abortion exceptions. The interviewer asks what if a woman is pregnant and has an abortion. Trump actually says “it depends when” but then he’s interrupted and then he goes on, “it has to be in one of those 3 categories” (rape, incest, life of mother).

This means either that (1) the interruption gave him a chance to think, and he was correcting it to “it must be in one of those 3 categories.” Or, it could mean (2)that he has one view about those that ARE taking place, and that he has another view about those that are justifiable. For those that ARE taking place he finds later term abortions to be abhorrent.

Another interesting thing he says at the outset is that this is the first time he’s ever been asked this...by a reporter, I suppose he means.

We also know he’s a convert to pro-life from back in 2011 or so. He could still be working out some of what he thinks. He should read Reagan’s book.

[SoConPubbie]

The other candidates aren’t going to do a damn thing about it.

If you are believing that about Senator Cruz, you don't know Cruz.

At the minimum, the SCOTUS judges he would nominate would be worlds better than the SCOTUS judges that "The Donald" would nominate.

[gdani]

Anyone unhappy with Trump’s position(s) today need not worry. They will surely be different tomorrow.

[SoConPubbie]

We also know he’s a convert to pro-life from back in 2011 or so. He could still be working out some of what he thinks. He should read Reagan’s book.

Highly doubtful. More likely that this was a position he took because he was running for President.

For those that ARE taking place he finds later term abortions to be abhorrent.

Or, more likely, the Reporter uncovered Donald's true position in a moment of Donald being flustered.

In other words, this is a political position of convenience for "The Donald".

Trump/Cruz 2016

Notice how Cruz is backing Trump on his comments? Hint hint.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

There is no “Depends”.

I beg to differ, one can buy them in any store.

Some would argue that he's removing the stench of the media and the party elite. He's opening all the doors and windows and letting fresh air in the room.
