Why do you think Trump is going to appoint pro-life justices? Why do you think he’s been clear about that? If he didn’t think they’d do anything, he wouldn’t do it and he wouldn’t promote it. He says all the time that the Supreme Court is important, and one he cites making sure that justices are pro-life. He said that was the reason he put out the list of the justices. People know what he means when he says he will appoint pro-life justices. They know it means that Roe vs. Wade could be overturned. This is a standard Republican position every single election cycle. If Trump gets elected and doesn’t get enough justices, then it will be the following election cycle. This is one thing that proudly contrasts us with the Democrats.
Hillary Clinton and the Democrats have been campaigning on this issue already. The Democrats campaign on this every single cycle. Here’s the difference between the Democrats and us. The Democrats aren’t ashamed of their position. There are 1.3 million dead unborn children a year, but they tout it proudly. A woman came on the stage at their convention and said to cheers that she had an abortion. We hide because we are afraid of what the Democrats will say, afraid of what the media will say. Why? We have the winning position. We are the ones arguing for the lives of 1.3 million unborn children. They are the ones arguing for their deaths - and more actually as they would like more abortion clinics. Our problem on this issue is that we cower in fear and give them the narrative. They are allowed to tout their support of abortion, but we have to hide our opposition to it because their support wins elections and our opposition loses it?
This is not a church issue. It’s not a religious issue. It’s a human rights issue. The right to life transcends all religions and belongs to all persons. I used to discuss abortion in another forum online, and a couple of the most pro-life people I knew weren’t religious at all. They didn’t believe in God, but they believed that one person didn’t have the right to take the life of a another.

If the candidate says “I will nominate pro-life judges who interpret the constitution”, as Trump has been saying all along, the media has not attacked him for saying that. Because he is leaving it up to the appointed judiciary to render a ruling on Roe Vs Wade.
OTOH if Trump had said “I will overturn Roe Vs, Wade” it would be attacked by media saying “Trump will interfere with the judiciary”.
I know the difference is hard for your to fathom. But take my word for it, there is a YUGE difference.
