Trump: I Would Ban Taxpayer Funding of Abortion

Today, Donald Trump announced the formation of a pro-life coalition for his campaign and hired Marjorie Dannenfelser of the Susan B. Anthony's list as chairwoman. Additionally, Trump outlined a pro-life platform and a commitment to appointing a pro-life Supreme Court justice and permanently banning any taxpayer funding of abortion.

SBA List later tweeted an infographic highlighting Trump's pro-life credentials:

Trump's pro-life beliefs have been a giant question mark since the beginning of the campaign season. Trump once had a wild 48-hour

period where he expressed widely-varying views on abortion. Trump's actual beliefs have been called into question, and the establishment of this coalition is probably reassuring to at least some pro-lifers.

appointing a pro-life Supreme Court justice and permanently banning any taxpayer funding of abortion.

Makes it pretty clear to me. Go Trump!

Didn’t the Hyde Amendment supposedly take care of that?

I believe Congress repealed it in 2007.

Praise the LORD. He hears our prayers and answers our prayers.

Or maybe it was 2009.

This wouldn’t be necessary had Republicans in Congress did their jobs. They’ve controlled Congress for 18 out of the last 22 years and haven’t done squat to defund abortion.

Yep, except they have a back door called Planned Parenthood, which is taxpayer supported.

What an astounding statistic! 18 out of 22 years, and yet jack sh!t has gotten accomplished.

Shameful...

Vote Trump!

Which is why we have Trump as our candidate and not one of the Elites.

This is always a Lose/Lose proposition. While I’d LOVE for every baby born to be born into the arms of a loving FAMILY, that’s no longer the case...in WAY too many cases.

If we Taxpayers aren’t paying for abortions, then in too many cases, ‘We The People’ are paying for these illegitimate kids (born out of wedlock) from cradle to grave, anyway. Not to mention the incarceration rate.

Man, it’s ALL such a RACKET the way Mother Government collects tax dollars from the ENTIRE sad cycle of the destroyed family unit. Why, it’s almost as if it’s been PLANNED! Grrrr!

What NEEDS to be fixed is The Family and I fear that THAT horse is already so far out of the barn that he’s in the next county!

I have no answers, other than that killing babies is WRONG...BUT, we Taxpayers pay one way or the other the way the game is rigged right now.

Why the Pro-Lifers don’t harp on ADOPTION 24/7 is beyond me. Where’s the disconnect, there?

This wouldn’t be necessary...if govt followed the Constitution.

That’s a WHOLE LOT under the umbrella of ‘this’, and the GOP\(R)\(C) haven’t done squat; except for the exact OPPOSITE of their platform and election year promises.

Each generation needs to accept salvational relationship from God for itself, or perish. There is no way to “make America Christian” in a way that can transcend that boundary.

As the bible says... “the Father, for whom every family is named.”

Maybe this will push the “not quite there yet” over to support Trump. I can’t for the life of me figure out those not quite there yetters.

"Didn’t the Hyde Amendment supposedly take care of that?"

Didn't bankruptcy law dictate that some banks go belly up back in 2008?
