I am cautious about believing anything the media reports. I see the Yahoo! leftards are also trumpeting this story.

I will wait and see what the truth is.

But if this is "as reported", then it'll be difficult for me to get up on the second Tuesday next November and go vote.

We're not a party that celebrates infanticide. If that is what some "general" wants to represent, then I'll continue to celebrate my citizenship in the Celestial City of Heaven while not pretending to vote and make no difference in this crumbling Republic's political process.

First of all, what is reported in the libtard media should be taken not with a grain of salt, but a big damn box of salt.

Second, if Flynn DID end up Vice President, he’s not going to be in a position to do one thing or another so far as abortion is concerned.

The Bush women (Barbara, Laura, etc) were all closet pro-choicers, and they had little to zero impact on the issue.

This would be a poor choice for VP. Trump needs an experienced political hand to complement his lack of experience navigating the snake pits of Washington.

Agreed — women have the right to choose not to have sex. Not to procreate with anyone who won’t be the father.

No one, man or woman, has the right to kill the unborn.

The msm tells you to dance to their abortion tune, and right on que, you dance. Every damn time, don’t you ever get tired of being manipulated?

Flynn on the morning talk shows today was talking Islamic terrorism, and illegal immigration. No PC BS

Yea, I guess Hillary would be better...don’t want to compromise ‘principle’ do we.

Fortunately, Hillary is pro-life.

If Flynn is truly pro-choice and if he was Trump’s choice for VP, then I could only conclude that Trump is at the best weak on the issue of abortion or worse lying about being pro-life.

I’d stay home in November.

The guy’s a Democrat through and through. Interviewed today he kept saying a leader has to be more courageous than to go with ideology on either side.

The perfect perfumed general sucking up to whatever guy might give him the next promotion.

Didn’t vote. Won’t say that he’s registered as a Republican. Says he’s pro-choice.

He’s also clearly not ready for prime time.

If he wants to get tough on immigration or the Islamic threat in a Trump administration, fantastic. But there is absolutely no way this guy should be Trump’s VP pick.

Note that former presidential candidate Rubio had also made a PC statement about women having the right to do with their bodies as they please in one of the debates.

But also note that the states had ratified the 18th Amendment (18A), later repealed by the 21st Amendment, 18A effectively prohibiting citizens from drinking alcoholic beverages. So the idea that citizens can do with their bodies as they choose in not a constitutionally enumerated right.

Also note that the ill-conceived 17th Amendment (17A), in conjunction with the 19th Amendment (19A), 19A effectively giving women the right to vote, helped to foster the fictitious constitutional “right” to have an abortion.

More specifically, low-information women voters don’t understand that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for abortion purposes.

And corrupt federal politicians have been taking advantage of the 17A and 19A, using these amendments to win elections by promising women unconstitutional federal funding for abortions.

It’s too bad that retired Lt. Gen Michael T. Flynn’s military training evidently didn’t include a thorough study of the Constitution.

Virtually every US citizen over the age of 35, except perhaps for Obama and Hillary, is a "potential Trump VP". At least until Trump says otherwise.

I guess there's a lot of money to be made by pumping out daily stories on the latest speculation/wild-ass-guess as to who Trump might pick.

Aside from a seismic shift abortion is a done deal in the States. There is no reason for a Republican to whine about needing it unless they wanted to damage the party.

I saw it. It’s unfortunate IMHO that he’s going out and doing interviews as he’s being vetted. To me, he’s an ideal pick for Trump’s VP and it was obvious in the interview that he hasn’t thought about and doesn’t give a crap about these kinds of litmus test social issues. He’s interested in protecting America against what he’s experienced first hand for many years and from a variety of angles as an EXISTENTIAL THREAT to our way of life. I bet he’s persuadable on abortion, but it just hasn’t been on his radar. But yes, he was clearly pro-choice in this interview.

um...he said this today on ABC’s “THIS Week”.

This guy is an admitted lifetime RAT and he hasn’t said if he’s changed his registration.

He did say in an interview that he believes a woman should have the right to choose.

The “Right To Kill Your Own Offspring” isn’t something I can support either. Let’s hope this isn’t true.

I would hope that this information, if true, would be a deal breaker for Trump.

Perot’s Admiral Stockdale was also a vigorous pro-abort type.

“Women have to be able to choose”.....they can already do that...it is between them and their doctor. “Women’s Health” is little more than a political football meant to confuse and disrupt otherwise independent moral values.
