Businessman Donald Trump says he is pro-life and wants to de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business. He's vocal on just about every topic and is ready to offer a quip at a moment's notice on anything that concerns him, the presidential campaign of politics.
But Trump is remarkably silent today on the 43rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. His campaign has issued no statement from him on the 58 million unborn babies killed in abortion, he's not addressed pro-life topics today in any interviews and the prolific tweeter hasn't said a word on Twitter or even RTd a statement or picture from anyone else opposing abortion.
His silence has resulted in a top pro-life U.S. Senator challenging him to speak out for unborn children on today - the day that the majority of Americans who are pro-life solemnly recall the dreadful Supreme Court decision that ushered in an era of virtually unlimited abortions throughout pregnancy for any reason.
SIGN THE NEW PLEDGE: I Pledge to Vote for a Pro-Life Candidate for President
Senator Joni Ernst, a pro-life Republican who happens to hail from the site of the first presidential caucus, Iowa, told the Weekly Stndard that Trump needs to speak out. She also wants Trump to talk about where he stands on the monumentally important issue of Supreme Court judges - key to whether or not America will suffer from abortion on demand another 43 years.
Ahead of her speech at the March for Life on Friday, Iowa GOP senator Joni Ernst said that Donald Trump should tell voters where he stands on Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that declared a right to abortion-on-demand.
"It is extremely important—extremely important†to have a president who would "appoint judges that understand that Roe v. Wade really wasn't a decision that was based on the Constitution," Ernst told THE WEEKLY STANDARD during an interview in her Senate office Friday morning.
Asked if Trump should tell voters his position on the issue, Ernst replied that Republican candidates "need to spell that out. They should know where they stand. They're running for the office of president. They should know where they stand on this issue because it is so important."
Unfortunately, Trump's campaign is not responding to pro-life news sources like The Weekly Standard about more details on his pro-life positions on abortion and Supreme Court judges.
"Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks has not replied to emails from TWS asking for clarification on these points," TWS reporter John McCormack wrote.
If Trump wants pro-life voters to take his views seriously, he needs to speak our more frequently and more thoroughly on abortion - especially on a day when America is mourning 58 million aborted babies.
He probably doesn't know how to use Twitter.
Show me where Trump was asked if it was okay to shove scissors in a baby’s skull and he said yes, then you might have an argument.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the policies Donald Trump supports absolutely guarantee the continuation of abortion on demand, I wouldn’t care much what he said about it today.
Partial birth abortion involves shoving scissors in a baby's skull. Trump was asked about partial birth abortion. He answered that he was very very pro-choice. It isn't difficult to figure out, unless Trump is incredibly stupid. Is that it? Trump is stupid?
The fact that Trump has been silent on this compounds the problem in that he thinks his sister would make a solid USSC justice. She's a pro-abortion fanatic and has no issue with partial birth abortion.
Electing a candidate who is committed to protecting the most innocent and vulnerable of society isn't important? Really? A man who won't state, unequivocally, that he will do everything he can to protect the unborn won't protect anything.
Let us not forget that just a few weeks ago, Trump singularly upset the whole election apple cart!
Trump set the national agenda by opposing illegal immigration and bringing up other issues that the GOPe and their allies desperately wanted to avoid, and now they can’t.
The GOPe was not prepared for this, and as a consequence they don’t have a clue about what to do, hence their almost universal collapse into a pile of quivering jello, flip-flopping like a bag of Mexican jumping beans dumped on a hot griddle.
Trump has exposed those who pretend to be conservative but are really just fronts for big money establishment campaign donors who purchase their candidates with campaign “donations”.
Trump, by actually being a real man, has exposed the other candidates (Cruz excepting of course) and their allies for the weak little sniveling sellouts that they really are.
Trump’s vociferous truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media have been the catalyst that triggered a massive revolt amongst conservative voters who are infuriated at the GOPe Congress doing absolutely ZERO to stop Obama’s agenda, and suddenly the GOP RINO leadership is in full blown panic mode and in full blown retreat, and the SMALL conservative House contingent smelt blood in the water, took heart, and charged in against a weakened, frightened and paralyzed GOPe leadership, and Boehner was taken out as a sacrificial lamb.
Trump is absolutely correct when he says that without Trump in the race, everything would be same-ol’, same-ol. The Joyful Tippy-Toes Turtle would be creeping closer to the finish line, Boehner would still be safely ensconced as Speaker, and there would be no mention of illegal immigration are any of the issues surrounding it by any politician in either party, other than possibly how critical it would be to pass immigration “reform”.
The media are loath to make the connection, but it’s obvious that the Boehner resignation was yet another falling domino, toppling due to the Trump Effect, because Trump’s unabashed truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media triggered a revolt amongst the great unwashed GOP masses which emboldened a few conservative Congress critters to grow a few pairs.
And our nation wouldn’t even be having ANY of these conversations about illegal immigration and the myriad of other Obammunist issues destroying our country if it wasn’t for Trump. Instead, we’d simply be debating which RINO, GOPe squish would be least likely to be stomped by Hillary, and the GOPe would once again be exhorting the “base” about how critical it is for us to once again vote for the “lesser of two evils”, that is, vote for the GOPe side of the Uniparty coin.
And do note that ALL of the oligarchs and plutocrats are frightened to death of Donald Trump because the billionaires and millionaires can’t buy him like all of the other politicians they routinely purchase, because Trump doesn’t need nor want their money, and the kommie media is frightened to death of him because he isn’t afraid of them either, the bottom line being that Donald Trump can not be controlled by the rich and powerful or the corrupt media, so for anyone who is truly for campaign finance reform and wants to take money out of politics, voting for Trump is the only reasonable choice.
President Trump is really the last hope for this country: if he can’t undo any of the damage wrought by the Obammunists, the U.S.A. is done.
So least we forget, the above, and much more, are called “The Trump Effect”.
Trump is as pro-life as most pro-life politicians who list their strings of exceptions.
Logically, if one believes that life begins at conception, there can be no exceptions.
Therefore, it’s quite unfair to single out any one politician.
