"Mr. President, while you were in office, you said that you would sign a federal abortion ban if Congress sent it to your desk."

Regardless of whether he's able to get Arizona to backpedal, I think that that one comment of his will be an enormous burden in November. And the fact is that he did call for a FEDERAL 20-week ban at the March for Life convention in February of 2018.

Political strategists have deemed the abortion issue a “loser” for Republicans, as evidenced by losses for GOP candidates in 2022 and 2023.

Yeah, yeah....see this is how the Left always win. They're going back to the old extremist playbook on Republicans and hoping that Republicans "soften their stance" on abortion, nevermind that the issue is null and void.

If Republicans were smart, they wouldn't even comment on abortion. Even Trump's waffling and then making a lame statement was stupid.

But SCOTUS' Dobbs decision in 2022 came after Trump's 2018 decision and means there no longer has to be a federal level action by Congress and the Prez to undo SCOTUS's mistakes in prior decisions Roe and Casey. The problem was solved in the best way by taking it to the states. Trump is right to no longer argue it at the federal level.

This is only the 7th anti Trump article posted so far today.

Is that because it is Friday or is the place slowing for some other reason?

I’m curious as Trump is the under even money favorite to win.

The GOP is a large 1/3 favorite to retake the Senate

House odds haven’t been posted yet but at worse will be pkem.

The GOP thanks to Trump/MAGA is on the cusp of potentially taking control of all three entities-

yet for some odd reason on a conservative forum-the anti Trump, anti-MAGA incl anti American material dwarfs all else.

Roe v Wade was a poisoned pawn.

These people are so stupid.

Another virus is out there that makes Covid look like a light cold. Personally know this. Got tagged by it. My overactive immune system beat it but was not fun. My estimation is over one billion dead in the next twelve months.

And then idiots now have nukes. Another billion dead.

Oh yeah Iran is about to take on Israel. And the US under Biden is no longer on Israel’s side. That ends poorly. Biden <- MORON.

America is too far gone at this point to even think that banning abortion is a possibility. Might as well try and ban contraception too.

Look, most of the MSM “abortion” stories are contrived nonsense, but their strategy is good - very good, in fact.

They plan to raise doubts that, if Trump is re-elected, that he will try to institute some sort of national abortion regulation.

He is crystal clear that that’s not on the table. I doubt that he has an anti-abortion bone in his body.

But never Trumpers are a crafty bunch. Over at “National” Review, they are jumping up and down over the opportunity to put national abortion regulation on the table and hurt Trump their arch-enemy at the same time. Same for the “American” Thinker and the “American” Spectator.

We are the “united states” not a monarchy...as the founders were fearful of becoming. Thus:

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

The media is ALL IN on Roe V Wade right now trying to raise Biden’s polling. So transparent.
