There's more to it than that. It's an object lesson in his lack of self restraint and informed judgement when he blurts out the first thing that comes into his head.
If Matthews can roll him like that, only God knows that Pelosi will do.
I never said Trump has thought deeply about abortion and the law, or pro-life strategy. He hasn’t.
But calling him “pro-abortion” is unproductive. He’s better than Hillary, and absolutely nothing else matters right now.
But the pro-life movement has been barking up the wrong tree for 43 years.
Why is abortion “legal”? Because the Supreme Court has instructed the GOVERNORS of the states to pretend that abortion is not homicide.
The pro-life responded to this instruction by wasting decades dreaming about a Human Life Amendment. The March for Life is STILL marching for Nellie Gray’s “Paramount Human Life Amendment.”
The pro-life movement SHOULD have focused on getting GOVERNORS who would DISOBEY the Supreme Court.
When the Rescue Movement opened up the issue of NULLIFICATION—by making the moral demand on the cops to stop pretending that abortion is not homicide—the Catholic bishops, the pro-life politicians, the governors, the courts—all REFUSED to do their duty. Almost unanimously, they took the position that “the law”—by which they meant the lawless Supreme Court—”must be obeyed.”
Until the pro-life movement is no longer dominated by muddleheads, I do not care what they think of Donald Trump.
