Why won’t he just be honest?...

“I don’t know. And frankly, I don’t really care. Besides, what difference does it make anyway? They need to die either way.”

Above his pay grade? What a weaselly coward.

Well, up until that final foolish sentence, your answer was perfectly correct and proper for a Presidential candidate (although probably phrased poorly). The President does not make legislation, the President does not interpret the Constitution, the President does not reverse earlier SCOTUS decisions, the President does not determine whether a state law ought to come under federal jurisdiction... and a President SHOULDN'T use litmus tests (other than jurisprudential competence and insightful decision-writing) to nominate Supreme Court justices (the one area where they MIGHT have some influence on the abortion debate). Of all the federal-level positions, the office of the President of the United States is the one where the abortion question is the least important. Our MSM just uses it as a way to damage presidential candidates, especially GOP candidates.
