Bye, bye, Donald.
Unbelievable, Trump is saying the law is what it is, no hypotheticals, no if it were different because it’s not.
Can’t win with this crowd.
I’ve lost count, is this the 4th or 5th time the Cruz-bots have posted this thing?
The science is settled - believe otherwise and you will face prosecution and persecution.
Another article hysterically calling Trump pro-abortion, that makes clear WITHIN THE ARTICLE ITSELF that he isn’t.
But...but...but...
As long as Obama is president the laws will have to remain the same but will change when he becomes president. Thats is his position. Pretty simple
And how many babies had Ted Cruz saved? ZERO. Ted Cruz’s GOP has fully funded tje PP baby murders.
Can you not read??? Or did you just not read the article??
Let me help you... From the article:
“Mr. Trump gave an accurate account of the law as it is today and made clear it must stay that way now -until he is President,” Hicks said. “Then he will change the law through his judicial appointments and allow the states to protect the unborn. There is nothing new or different here.”
The pro-life movement is run by muddleheads, and always has been.
Does anyone think that Trump will continue to persecute the Little Sisters of the Poor?
+++++++++++++++++++++++
The March for Life and the rest of the pro-life movement is totally muddled. The official purpose of the March for Life is to lobby for the Paramount Human Life Amendment, which is a waste of time.
The pro-life movement (the political movement) should focus on electing governors who will NULLIFY Roe, Doe, and the rest of the USSC’s decisions, and demanding that the President SUPPORT this nullification.
Why is this the constitutionally sound way to proceed?
Because the Supreme Court’s decisions are commands issued to the states to refrain from treating abortion as homicide.
These commands are immoral. It is the PEOPLE TO WHOM THESE COMMANDS ARE ADDRESSED WHO HAVE THE DUTY TO DISOBEY THEM. And those people are the EXECUTIVES in the states—and the members of the EXECUTIVE BRANCHES—police and prosecutors.
I am not going to get all in a dudgeon because Donald Trump—who I believe is against abortion, but who has never been a “pro-lifer”—when the pro-life movement itself is an intellectual MESS.
“Mr. Trump gave an accurate account of the law as it is today and made clear it must stay that way now –until he is President,” Hicks said. “Then he will change the law through his judicial appointments and allow the states to protect the unborn. There is nothing new or different here.”
What I see is your comprehension skills are all but non existent...
If abortion were ever made illegal, pro-lifer's desire no consequences for the law being broken. AKA - the law would have no teeth and abortions would go on.
Entire incident with Trump and pro-lifers afterwards is ludicrous.
If Donald cannot get his story straight, his ‘beliefs’ clarified and stuck to, this may be how his campaign is finally dismantled. After all the millions spent by Karl, Mitt and Koch, this very basic issue may be his stumbling block. I wondered how long he could keep this frenetic pace w/o any real break in over what? eight, nine months of steady campaigning. Stunning ( and sad) that he never seemed to have found the time to review this topic.
“I would’ve preferred states’ rights,” he added. “I think it would’ve been better if it were up to the states. But right now, the laws are set….At this moment, the laws are set. And I think we have to leave it that way.”
“Do you think abortion is murder?” Dickerson asked.
“I have my opinions on it, but I’d rather not comment on it,” Trump replied.
“You said you were very pro-life,” Dickerson followed up. “Pro-life means that…abortion is murder.”
“I mean, I do have my opinions on it. I just don’t think it’s an appropriate forum,” said Trump.
“But you don’t disagree with that proposition, that it’s murder?” Dickerson asked.
“No, I don’t disagree with it,” Trump eventually replied.

I saw that. Donald was doing so good avoiding the stupid gotcha question, until the end. It’s a question that will not win one supporter and can only alienate someone no matter what you answer. When abortion was illegal it was never defined as “murder”, but as a separate crime with far less penalties. And Trump is right, the law is set until Roe v. Wade is overturned, and then it’s unlikely that it will be outlawed at the federal level, but left to the states. Murder is defined by state laws, not federal, The president has no say over it at all, so why take the bait?
He is pro life...he said the law is what it is, he didn’t say that it shouldn’t be changed. He has to learn to avoid hypothetical questions especially from idiots like Chris Mathews...that was a setup from moment 1.
Scholars and philosophers down through ages to come will study with hushed awe the profundity of this statement. It will be inscribed in stone on mountain tops and beamed into deep space with lasers!
Trump just lost the nomination and the election
