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.
I agree with all that.. But first get elected.. And then clean out the place. Women are hell bent on having the freedom to do the process and kill the result. Women are bossy and demand their way.. They have a thing about not having a man dictate anything to them.. It’s in their veins to rebel or at least have a right to rebel..
In votes, if Trump is not our next president, nothing will matter.. It’s that serious.
Trump is the most caring of all the sides and opinions you see.. Globalism is the dems goal.. And people will be the last thing they will care about.
“This AZ Supreme Court decision may very well have been made to intentionally hurt Trump’s chances of winning AZ....”
I find delicious the contortions that are required to make a pro-life court and legislature to be conspirators in an anti-MAGA plot.
Seems also as if that “exception” when examined carefully presents a false dichotomy in all but the rarest of cases.
In those rarest of cases doctors should never act on their own judgment to trade the mother’s life for that of the not-yet-born child. But some would-be mothers of such children are heroic and, though it is terrible to think about this, are sometimes willing to suffer anything, even death if it comes to that, to preserve those children’s lives if possible. If they are of sound mind (excluding duress), and express this clearly to the doctor, what should the doctor do?
“...contortions...”
gaslight
“Trump is taking a long-standing political compromise position.”
What long-standing position is this? Abortions on demand just some of the time?
“Our biggest Political enemy is the Upper Middle Class leftist women. Abbott should send Migrants to THIERhomes
Many will follow the antichrist gladly”
OK....but do you believe that Candidate Trump should cater to them?
Stay out of it by not committing.. There are ways to answer and ways to declare.
Look.. I have a daughter we adopted when she was 2 weeks old. I have 4 natural born sons..
But get Trump back in the position to Clean it up.
Women are hard core.. You men don’t need to push their buttons.. That hill will be there next Jan.. And we want the right man in that seat.
This Guy thinks Trump is encouraging Arizonans to restore sanity, calmness, rationality to what is already a highly charged issue.
The fact that an Arizona that acts quickly to restore its sanity, calmness and rationality in this regard will then proceed in December to give Trump its Electoral College votes should not now be held against Trump.
Gaslight was at best an OK movie.
But you really think that the Republicans talking in tongues on the floor of the Arizona Senate are secret operatives trying to sabotage President Trump’s prospects in November?
>>”I find delicious the contortions that are required to make a pro-life court and legislature to be conspirators in an anti-MAGA plot.”
I think you meant McCain-RINO controlled legislature and court. We’re talking about the Republican party of Douc Ducey, Bill Gates, etc., and a legislature and judiciary that allowed two stolen elections to go unpunished. If you find it hard to believe that AZ Republicans would deliberately uphold a territorial AZ law in order to make it harder for Trump to win, then I guess you’re still asleep.
Trump.. To know him is to know how much his sons and daughters are to him.. They show they have love and respect.. He has been in touch with them daily as they grew up.. He cares.. And the abortion issue is another attempt to try to take him out of the running.
Arizona has, in no time flat, become ground zero for satanic never-Trumper sentiment.
Those RINO creeps smell blood and are attacking in earnest in the name and memory of their false deity Panama John McCain.
Don’t tell This Guy that they’re not!
“IDK if abortion will be that big an issue in AZ?
half the population are catholic/hispanic & the other half are retired snowbirds that don’t have to worry about abortions???”
Good luck with that. Abortion rights won in Montana and Kentucky and Kansas and Ohio, states not known for chardonnay-swilling suburban moms. well, maybe Ohio is....but Montana??? Kentucky???
Trump as usual opens his mouth when keeping it shut would better serve him. He just told a bunch of voters who would have voted for him to stay home to placate those who will never vote for him.
Not a federal matter.
States Rights matter.
So, each state will decide; and, Arizona for now, has made a decision.
- - -
The problem of millions of women killing their babies . . . is an individual problem for each of the mothers.
Pray that each chooses well, and, that each may be forgiven.
The Biden Administration’s notions of what a “couple” is, and also not knowing that a male is a male, and a female is a female, presents a problem.
That discourages a mother’s surrendering a new baby to the clutches of left-wing “children’s social services.”
Pretty sure you, as well as many others, have no trouble doing anything they can to sabotage Trump.
And arizona, especially maricopa county, have been run by mccain republicans, that showed how nevertrumpish they were by allowing election fraud to occur
So yes, digging up something from 1864 and using it to supercede all other later legislation or laws, is sabotage
According to Pew (May 23, 2022,) 13% of US Catholics believe abortions should be legal in all instances, and an additional 43% believe it should be legal with restrictions. That’s about in line with non-Catholics.
I completely agree. It’s Trump’s willingness to wade into controversial issues which he believes in, knowing the barrage of distortions and criticism he’s going to face, that makes him so special as a leader. That sort of leadership is the only way to change ingrained but misguiding “conventional wisdom”.
The same position Reagan held.
Trump is correct in a legal sense, and while I absolutely hate it, the issue should always have been in control of the states. On the other hand, there is absolutely no need to support a particular state outcome on abortion when you’re working on the federal level.
I get it that Trump needs to muddy the waters for AZ and I also get that it’s unclear what Trump’s abortion position is. But there’s a personal and moral and spiritual cost to supporting abortion. I have a close friend who helped 3 partners get abortions when he was young, he got saved and fixed his life and every single one of them haunts him now.
