"Unlike Trump, Reagan never promoted abortion nor did he seek to support it."

Is there a quote from Trump where he promotes abortion?

The best that the Washington Post could come up with to demonstrate Trump's change of position was this:

Abortion

Then: On "Meet The Press" in 1999, Trump said he was "very pro-choice." "I hate the concept of abortion," he said. "I hate it. I hate everything it stands for. ... but I just believe in choice."

Now: In an interview with Bloomberg Politics in January, Trump said, "I'm pro-life and I have been pro-life." He said he believed there should be exceptions in cases of rape, incest or the life of the mother.

MR. RUSSERT: But you would not ban it? MR. TRUMP: No. MR. RUSSERT: Or ban partial birth abortion? MR. TRUMP: No. I am pro-choice in every respect and as far as it goes, but I just hate it.

My question to you is why would you back a candidate who states he's “very pro-choice” yet hates abortion? That doesn't even make sense. Not to mention the fact that he wouldn't ban partial birth which is barbaric.

I gave you the life thing anyway. Fine, he had his coming to Jesus moment and is now on board. Good for him and good for us. But you cited Reagan here so on that comparison, it was easy to take it down.

He's not a Conservative. Maybe most of his supporters are not too and that's fine. Freewill. But we Conservatives know he's not and trying to compare him to Reagan to prove it just makes it look a bit off center.
