President Donald Trump called on the Arizona legislature to use “HEART” and “COMMON SENSE” and pass a pro-choice bill in a post on Truth Social Friday.
“The Supreme Court in Arizona went too far on their Abortion Ruling, enacting and approving an inappropriate Law from 1864. So now the Governor and the Arizona Legislature must use HEART, COMMON SENSE, and ACT IMMEDIATELY, to remedy what has happened,” wrote Trump. “Remember, it is now up to the States and the Good Will of those that represent THE PEOPLE. We must ideally have the three Exceptions for Rape, Incest, and Life of the Mother. This is important! Democrats are the EXTREMISTS – They support Abortion up to the moment of birth, and even execution of Babies, in some cases, after birth. This should not be. Arizona Legislature, please act as fast as possible!”
Earlier this week, the state Supreme Court in Arizona decided that an old law predating the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade outlawing abortion except for when the mother’s life is threatened was still valid. Trump’s call for the expansion of abortion rights in the Grand Canyon State comes just days after he promised not to back any pro-life legislation if he retakes the White House this November and represents an implicit retraction of his call for states to navigate the abortion debate on their own.
“My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it. From a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land, in this case, the law of the state,” explained Trump in a statement earlier this week. “Many states will be different. Many will have a different number of weeks, or some will have more conservative than others. And that’s what they will be at the end of the day. This is all about the will of the people. You must follow your heart or in many cases, your religion or your faith. Do what’s right for your family and do what’s right for yourself. Do what’s right for your children. Do what’s right for our country, and vote.”
Kari Lake, the Republican candidate for Senate in Arizona, has also called for pro-choice legislation in the state and promised not to support any federal bans on abortion if she’s elected.
This AZ Supreme Court decision may very well have been made to intentionally hurt Trump’s chances of winning AZ, a state which may end up being very consequential, once again, in this year’s election. It seems pretty clear to me that Trump’s interest in this decision has a lot more to do with that then a desire to prevent pro-life legislation. And to para-phrase Trump himself, you should go with your heart, but you also have to win elections. This year’s election is of historic importance, as AZ’s role in it will be.
I still hate how he capitalizes words like incest or terrorism...
Because DIEDIEDIEDIE!!!!
The essence of modern American womanhood is KILLBABIES and cowardly politicians kowtow to these murderous bitches.
Make America Great Again???
HAH!
Make Americans Good Again.
The United States of Abortion will never be great.
That’s not what WHO said?
This is a face palm moment, for Donald Trump. He will be attacked on the abortion issue, from all sides, much more than necessary, and The Left will love all of it.
Stop allowing Deep State to gin up games of lets-you-and-him-fight.
If we don’t restore the republic, arguing over all the rest, including abortion, will be pointless.
“Let the states decide” is the wrong formula. It should be “let the states enforce.” Abortion, the killing of an innocent child, should be illegal in all the states but it should be enforced, like murder, by the states, not by the federal government. Not every important matter should be federalized. The federal government should limit itself to those matters actually delegated to it in the Constitution.
The left long ago decided that unborn have no right to life, and though that is wrong, due to RvW, that mindset has proliferated through our society for several generations.
You do not change such a “thing” overnight and you must move incrementally.
We finally got over the RvW hump, and it took a very long time. Eradicating the “right” for an abortion will take just as long at the state level to correct, and it will not happen overnight in most areas.
It's just the reality of where we currently are.
Trump is trying to win an election and seems to understand the reality of our current situation
.................
Some people can’t understand this. I call them the Tancredo Boys lol.
The only people rating a facepalm, in this case a Picard double facepalm, are the ones allowing Deep State to play them like a fiddle.
Just vote for Trump.
We can sort out the rest after.
>>”And true conservatives have a right to never vote for a openly Pro-Abortion candidate, no matter what party they claim they are representing.”
Of course they do. And they also have a right to whine and bitch when Democrats regain power and pass universal abortion rights legislation once more - even if their decision helped to bring it about.
You’re correct and it won’t change unless there’s a great awakening to Christ in this country-—which sadly won’t happen.
Bad Headline. States rights. In the case of Arizona, exceptions for danger to the mother.
Exactly.
Did you ever see that video at a Pro choice (abortion) march where a few women were yelling “we love killing babies....we love killing babies”!!!???
Trump said leave it to the States, too. I will vote for President Trump, but since he doesn’t “get” the pro-life thing, he should talk lessof it and deliver as he did in his presidency. Let Taylor Marshall assist here. he is killing the intensity of his support among prolifers.
Sorry Trump, this is not where you need to go. Science says a human life begins at conception.
He’s not killing mine.
I’ll crawl over broken glass glass to vote for the only guy running to restore our republic.
Because without our republic, the rest will not matter.
Can’t say that I have ... I have had similar slogans shouted at me by the pro-abortion crowd while participating in the national March for Life. They are a truly crass, obscene, and ugly bunch.
DON’T BELIEVE THE MEDIA
there is more to this story than they are saying. They just want to turn off Trump supporters
