How do you ‘prove’ you’re pro-life? It’s an opinion.

You can make all the promises in the world campaigning for the presidency.

Many Trump supporters are also single issue: “build the wall”.

That means they are ignoring large swaths of Trump’s character and track record. That is risky as well.

We must look at the whole package on all of the candidates, which means you cannot shout down all discussion with “he promised to build the wall!!!”

[bjcoop]

Perhaps you should look into Reagan’s past positions and record on abortion when he was governor of CA before you cast stones.

How do you ‘prove’ you’re pro-life? It’s an opinion.

You can make all the promises in the world campaigning for the presidency.

You do it by staking out conservative Pro-Life policy positions and then backing it by action, both of which Cruz has done, and both of which TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME) has not.

[SampleMan]

To address abortion, we need to change Congress.

Congress didn't mandate that abortions be legal, SCOTUS did. Remind me again who appoints SCOTUS justices.

[SoConPubbie]

Perhaps you should look into Reagan’s past positions and record on abortion when he was governor of CA before you cast stones.

I'm talking about the positions that both men ran on/are running on.

Don't try muddying the water by trying to bring in positions/actions that happened much more than a decade before Reagan ran and won the Presidency.

Reagan was unabashedly Pro-Life, TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) is unabashedly Pro-Abortion as proven by his own words:


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"

Actions and consistency. It works with every other issue.

[bjcoop]

That was from over a year ago

[RasterMaster]

Oh, I’ve heard him just fine. I’ve heard him promise something to every special interest group he appears in front of. I’ve heard him promise single payer healthcare where government “pays for everything”. I heard him say he’s going to get Mexico to pay for his wall...not going to happen without the force of troops and another war.

[SoConPubbie]

That was from over a year ago

Just like many of TRUMP's (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME) policy positions that seem to change with the political winds, right?

That being said, if you were listening, that was TRUMP'S (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME) PRO-LIFE DECLARATION.

There has been no clarification on the specific policy positions he outlined in that statement to this date.

So what is your point?

[elhombrelibre]

See this.

Thanks for pointing out that Trump has no core values and is only a conservative since he announced.

Except you have zero proof Cruz or Trump are pro-life except they both say they are.

I’m not being obtuse here. Policy isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on, nor are words. It makes you feel good, and it’s not earth shattering for someone with an R next to their name, along with lower taxes and pro-Israel.

Maybe I’m getting increasingly jaded with every “debate.”

[SoConPubbie]

Maybe I’m getting increasingly jaded with every “debate.”

Or maybe you just don't want the fact that TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME) is Pro-Abortion to be part of the debate?

[Read Write Repeat]

You’re barking up the wrong tree and trying to make this personal.

I know what pro-life is because I’m pro-life — and it’s my opinion. I want pro-life judges. I don’t want Planned Parenthood to get federal funds.

Tell me how I prove that without being a mayor or a governor signing on legislation.

[Leto]

He could come out for defunding PP

[Read Write Repeat]

Didn’t he do that?

Again, it’s words. Congress holds the purse strings when they aren’t allocating that power to Obama.

[Marie]

Exactly. That wasn’t the topic at hand.

And Trump should be short with reporters who can’t do their homework. He has been plain on his position. He’s written at least two very clear statements recently that details his position exactly.

LifeNews is starting to bug me with this crap.

[SoConPubbie]

You’re barking up the wrong tree and trying to make this personal.

No to both.

Just trying to figure out why you think that TRUMP'S (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) stated positions shouldn't be part of the decisioning matrix used to select a candidate to vote for?

I’m surprised Trump didn’t give the correct answer: “Specifics” are up to the states.

Personalyy, I think any state that legalizes murder should be expelled from the Union. This is what should have happened to California and New York before Roe and Doe.
