In the second part of an interview with David Brody of CBN, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he thinks the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case that ushered in an era of 48 million abortions was “wrongly decided.†Trump said he would appoint “very good judges†who would ultimately “change it†but he opposed roe without specifically saying it should be overturned.
“It’s been very strongly decided but it can be changed,†Trump told Brody. “Things are put there and they’re passed but they can be unpassed with time but it’s going to take time because you have a lot of judges to go.â€
This part of the interview with CBN follows a portion that saw Trump commit for the first time to signing a bill to defend the Planned Parenthood abortion business — though the candidate said he still thinks Planned Parenthood does some good things.
Here’s the partial transcript and video of the interview:
David Brody: “Roe V. Wade: do you think it should be overturned and would you put Supreme Court Justices or would you look at Supreme Court Justices that felt that way.â€
Donald Trump: “I will put people on that are going to be very very good and constitutionalists and they’re going to do a good job but it’s going to take a long time.†(Partial Transcription)
David Brody: “But beyond judges, do you believe Roe V. Wade was wrongly decided back in the day, back in 1973?â€
Donald Trump: ‘Well I do. It’s been very strongly decided but it can be changed. Things are put there and they’re passed but they can be unpassed with time but it’s going to take time because you have a lot of judges to go.â€
Previously, Trump issued an op-ed condemning Roe v. Wade but stopped short of saying it should be reversed.
No, it didn't. Somebody (TC) ran ads beating him up about Planned Butcherhood. Now he comes out with this. It's the right response. May God grant him the grace to really believe it.
“He seems to be saying a lot of things we want to hear”
Bingo!
What truth do you want to hear? He’ll tell it to you. It doesn’t matter what it is, just as long as YOU believe it.
Ya, it’s usually a losing proposition.
I become more convinced by the day that Trump will be a disaster for conservatism. He might give us a few years of security but they will be miserable and make this country weaker in the long run.
That doesn’t even make any sense!
You’re the one who wants to snuff out the lives of 99% of the aborted babies just because you refuse to save any of them unless you save 100% of them and no less.
You sick freak.
Kazan, this is not Hugh :-)
I give him credit for realizing that killing babies is wrong.
He knows what his audience wants to hear.
That’s very astute. Trump leads people on and they think that he is taking them where they want to go.
Do you think the Roe vs. Wade case was decided rightly ? Do you think it was 'legal' ?
Do you know where Jane Roe is today ?
Roe vs. Wade was a false case, set up so that Organized Crime could extract more profit from abortion. This meant more donations to politicians, and some of the organized crime figures had moved into politics anyway, so it was a WIN/WIN deal for them all.
Go Trump
If equal protection for the supreme unalienable right is not respected, no one’s rights are secure.
Surrendering equal protection assures the continuation of abortion on demand.
Wake up.
Do you ? What was the first name of the lady who got raped and wanted an abortion and was the principal in this case ?
I believe it was decided wrongly. I do not believe Trump believes it was decided wrongly. I believe Trump is saying what he thinks he must say to hoodwink voters in SC. Otherwise why is he only saying now, days before the SC primary?
“Hahaah Now we know Donald lies too.”
We’ve known that for some time. His followers just don’t seem to care.
Mmm, no. No, you’re still a sick freak.
Innocent lives are in the balance here, and allowing the slaughter of children to continue unabated until you convert all of society to a perfect position is not only horrible, but also nigh-on impossible.
Equal protection is absolutely required by God and our Constitution.
Quit acting like it’s optional.
That’s the attitude that keeps abortion going.
“He is running selflessly in order to fix the country.”
ROFL! You folks should stop sniffing glue...you’re already showing signs of brain rot.
Okay. Let me try to get your position clear here.
You’re saying that you absolutely refuse to support ANY laws curtailing abortion, other than a total and complete ban.
Is that accurate?
