You assert that fewer abortions are occurring. Does your assertion include both surgical and abortifacient drugs? As best I understand it, there is no reliable estimate of how many abortions result from the abortifacient effects of various pills. So I respectfully request you to back up your assertion.
The so-called Mexico City policy actually began during Reagan administration. Dr Alan Keyes, who was very involved in negotiating at that Mexico City meeting, was the first candidate I helped raise up when it became clear to me that none of the existing candidates came close to representing my views. Ever since then, Dem presidents have toggled the policy off, and Republican presidents have toggled it back on. To his credit, President Trump went beyond merely toggling it back on.
Every day that President Trump fails to stand up for the clear language of the Constitution, thousands of persons are deprived of their lives without due process.
Steve, each new post from you is more detached from reality.
We live in a Constitutional Republic. The president can’t edict what takes place and what doesn’t in most instances.
Abortion is one instance where he can’t simply change things to the way you and I wish he could.
REALITY sucks, but it is still reality.
Trump can take measures to defund abortion providers. He has done so. You also concede that Trump went beyond merely stopping US Government funding for abortions overseas.
You mention Alan Keyes. Who did Alan work for? Who sent him? Who directed him to do what he did? Who would actually sign anything coming out of that Mexico event? Alan?
You are great at picking losers who can’t affect or implement policy themselves. They have no chance of winning, but there you are so proud of the support you give to people who in the end turn out to be nothing burgers.
I’m sure Alan meant well. The FReeper you mentioned probably did too. Did they get a chance to devise and implement policy? Ah, no.
Not willing to concede there are fewer abortions due to Trump defunding Planned Parenthood, you branch out to include oral day after medications.
Trump cannot wave a wand and get those drugs pulled off the market. He can’t pass an edict to eliminate all abortions.
He has done what he can, and that’s all we can ask of him.
Just go back to supporting the people you do and be proud of yourself. Never mind they haven’t done nearly as much as Trump to reduce abortions.
Our neighborhood bobcats have done as much as your candidates to reduce the number of abortions.
