I do not trust Trump on the life issue. His answer to Chris Matthews was pretty close to the gaff that one congressman made about rape not being rape. And if it had been Ted Cruz who answered that question like that to Matthews it would still be in the news and Hitlary's voice would be even more hoarse screaming about Ted and his intended mistreatment of women.
I want to thank you for having a civil conversation with me on this.
This quote from Trump, from this article is along the lines of what I believe in the right to life being a founding principle of our nation. He also states all the opportunities lost for many human beings because of abortion which I am always saddened by when you think about it that way.
“Let me be clear — I am pro-life. I support that position with exceptions allowed for rape, incest or the life of the mother being at risk,” he said. “I did not always hold this position, but I had a significant personal experience that brought the precious gift of life into perspective for me.”
Trump said America has gone astray because it has moved away from the founding principles the nation’s founders put in most — most notably the right to life.
America, when it is at its best, follows a set of rules that have worked since our Founding. One of those rules is that we, as Americans, revere life and have done so since our Founders made it the first, and most important, of our “unalienable” rights.
Over time, our culture of life in this country has started sliding toward a culture of death. Perhaps the most significant piece of evidence to support this assertion is that since Roe v. Wade was decided by the Supreme Count 43 years ago, over 50 million Americans never had the chance to enjoy the opportunities offered by this country. They never had the chance to become doctors, musicians, farmers, teachers, husbands, fathers, sons or daughters. They never had the chance to enrich the culture of this nation or to bring their skills, lives, loves or passions into the fabric of this country. They are missing, and they are missed.
