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.
I’ve repeatedly pointed out that our Constitution is quite clear where it says no person shall be deprived of their life without due process. The 14th Amendment even explicitly extends that provision to every state. President Trump could have vetoed instead of signing into law a bill that states it’s ok for federal funds to be used to pay for abortion in some types of situations, including cases of rape and incest. You say he’s done everything he can? No he hasn’t, and that failure to veto is an example that even you should be able to understand.
Alan Keyes was a federal employee at the time you ask about. As best I recall, Jeane Kirkpatrick urged that he be given more responsibility in Reagan administration after seeing his work as a National Security Council staffer. My mention of Reagan era in last post was to point out that Mexico City Policy did not start with GW Bush administration.
I have never criticized President Trump’s Mexico City Policy. How do you imagine I’m conceding anything in acknowledging what President Trump has in fact done? That President Trump has failed miserably does not mean everything he’s done is wrong.
I continue to be grateful to God that Hillary Clinton is not President. Too bad the Republican majority House didn’t impeach her when they had majority in House and Senate.
If Hillary Clinton had instituted the Trump administration’s bump stock ban, I suspect the Democrats would be facing the same kind of voter response as occurred during Bill Clinton administration.
