Donald Trump says he’ll vote ‘yes’ on Amendment 4 to overturn Florida ban on abortion after 6 weeks

Florida Politics ^ | 8/29/2025 | Drew Dixon

[Antoninus]

Now don’t support Trump and put the Democrats in power and there will definitely be federal mandates about abortion.

The Amendment that Trump is tacitly endorsing allows unfettered abortion up through birth. This IS the stuff of our worst nightmares -- and our candidate is endorsing it.

[Drew68]

DJT is either pandering to the Demon party or is actually not pro life at all.

Donald Trump has never been pro-life.

Trump made a deal with social conservatives in 2016. "Vote for me and I will put judges on the Supreme Court who will repeal Roe v. Wade."

They did and he did. He owes them nothing more.

[Drew68]

that looks like it was almost 6 months ago- wonder if it changed at all

I doubt it has changed much at all, other than to switch more in support of abortion as suburban women's #1 concern now that inflation has eased slightly.

[roving]

I know what God thinks and he won’t be pleased.

[roving]

They still won’t vote for him.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

He supports legalized abortion (child killing) and wants to lose the election. Shaking my head.

[Drew68]

Spouting this pro abort BS just to get the soccer moms and childless cat ladies to ease off the abortion issue.

That's the difference between Democrats and Republicans.

Democrats are allowed to flat out lie on the campaign trail about their far-left positions. Their far-left base doesn't mind because they know they're lying to get elected and once firmly entrenched in power, they'll have the freedom to show their true colors.

Republicans, on the other hand, demand their leaders bend the knee to their base and make solemn promises in support of massively unpopular positions and they don't care if they lose their elections as long as they kissed the ring.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

He favors abortion now. It’s clear. For perceived political advantage. The pro-life stance was also for perceived political advantage.

[Drew68]

I believe that Trump supports an abortion ban after the first trimester.

I don't think Trump cares one way or the other about abortion.

[BuddhaBrown]

Oh Joy!

Our candidate is a scared, flip flopping populist.

Nothing is sacred to him but winning.

Hide your guns.

[roving]

I wonder if Jesus would agree with you. We are on this earth for a short time, but eternity is forever.

[ansel12]

If you knew politics you would know that disheartened voters drop out, they don’t generally just switch to the other side.

The issue is turn-out and the level of donations and activism, and winning down ticket offices, it is similar to the military recruiting situation, the patriotic supporters became disenchanted and just stopped showing up to enlist.

This is not something to take lightly.

[MinorityRepublican]

Honestly, I think he just lost the election.

Nah. This isn't 2016.

Our nation is at stake. So we're all behind Trump.

[BuddhaBrown]

“This isn’t 2016.”

Agreed. This is 2020.

Where the scared populist goes nuts, stabs us in the back regarding the SwampJab. For votes. Then loses anyway.

[Drew68]

Let's seek how much you admire him when he announces support for Semi-Automatic weapon ban, that ought to lock up the Suburban Women voters, it's their second most important issue after baby killing.

While I don't trust Trump as far as I can throw him when it comes to defending the Second Amendment, I don't think he'd be this stupid.

Coming out for an AWB would 100% cost him the election. Gun rights crowd are single-issue voters. They WILL stay home! I know I would.

This being said, I do not expect loyalty on the issue should he find himself back in the White House. I can truly see a scenario where he'd pass an AWB to make a deal with Democrats on other issues. Keep in mind, he'll be a lame duck and he's never really liked the gun rights crowd that much to begin with other than their willingness to give him their votes.

I've said as much before. Socially, he's an old 90s-era NYC liberal.

[lastchance]

I wish more people grasped just what the amendment would make legal regarding abortion in Florida.

[Antoninus]

Our nation is at stake. So we're all behind Trump.

Go on X right now and see what the consensus is. Count the number of people who said that they were going to vote for Trump but have now changed their minds and are voting third party or not voting at all.

Then, multiply that by 1,000 and recall that the 2020 election was decided by about 50,000 votes in the battleground states.

Trump is an idiot for pissing off his base this close to an election.

[Antoninus]

While I don't trust Trump as far as I can throw him when it comes to defending the Second Amendment, I don't think he'd be this stupid.

I didn't think he'd be this stupid re: abortion. Yet, here we are.

[BuddhaBrown]

“Trump is an idiot”

He is not dumb.

He is disloyal.

[Drew68]

I didn't think he'd be this stupid re: abortion. Yet, here we are.

At least Trump threw a bone to pro-lifers in ensuring Roe V. Wade was repealed, the one thing they've been begging for over the past fifty years.

What thanks did Second Amendment advocates get? A bumpstock ban.
