The Man Most Responsible for Ending Roe Worries That It Could Hurt His Party
The New York Times ^ | June 24, 2022 | Maggie Haberman and Michael C. Bender

Posted on 06/25/2022 8:31:59 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

The end of the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling was the culmination of decades of work by Republicans and social conservatives — one that came to pass only after a former Democrat from New York who had once supported abortion rights helped muscle through three Supreme Court justices.

Publicly, former President Donald J. Trump heralded the Supreme Court’s ruling on Friday ending federal abortion protections as a victory. Yet, as he faces possible prosecution over his efforts to subvert the 2020 election and prepares for a likely 2024 presidential campaign, Mr. Trump has privately told friends and advisers the ruling will be “bad for Republicans.”

When a draft copy of the decision leaked in May, Mr. Trump began telling friends and advisers that it would anger suburban women, a group who helped tilt the 2020 race to President Biden, and would lead to a backlash against Republicans in the November midterm elections.

In other conversations, Mr. Trump has told people that measures like the Texas state law banning most abortions after six weeks and allowing citizens to file lawsuits against people who enable abortions are “so stupid,” according to a person with direct knowledge of the discussions. The Supreme Court let the measure stand in December 2021.

For the first hours after the decision was made public on Friday, Mr. Trump was muted in response, a striking contrast to the conservatives who worked in his administration, including former Vice President Mike Pence. Mr. Pence issued a statement saying, “Life won,” as he called for abortion opponents to keep fighting “in every state in the land.”

The author of this hitpiece, Maggie Halberman, has never had a positive word to say about Trump. She and the other Dem acolytes in the “press”, never have a bad word to say about the corrupt, senile imposter in the White House.

Actually, it's not "fake news".

This is The Narrative for this November's fake "elections".

They'll invent a name for this "wave", and the Democrat vote factories will be "gettin' busy" printing up and dropping off fake votes in the mail ballot boxes.

I saw a mail ballot box by my city hall for the first time ever last week.

Maggie Haberman concern trolling the GOP, or she’s trying out a dose of copium.

faux outrage.

this will fail just like the Jan 6th show trial failed.

Biden and Democrat poll numbers went DOWN after the draft memo was leaked and the Jan 6th show trial started!

Nothing is going to save the democrats in November

NONSENSE.

Stupid logic. Even leftard “males” or fags will be hard pressed to prioritize abortion when they cant even put gas into their cars.

Just another idiotic spin by the Slimes..

NY Times lies - Trump told people BS... - no sources just pure leftist wet-dream stories being told by the Fishwrap so at the wine and cheese parties in Georgetown and the Upper West Side they will have something to drool about.

Trump is a New Yorker. He does not care about abortion. He knew he had to be pro-life and select judges approved by the Federalist Society to win.

Like everything else this too shall pass. Five months is a long time and the gas prices and not finding essentials in the supermarket will hit them right between the eyes again! Besides our side always has a habit of shooting themselves in the foot and this gun grabbing Bill that was signed into law is not inspiring a go full burn walk through glass to the polls in November. Collins just put another stake in their chances too...I hate that *itch!

Well said.

Imagine a world where people take anything printed and put out by the NYT as actual fact. Of course, weak Repubs will spoon feed this crap up. Apparently, abortion will trump ever increasing inflation, ever increasing food shortages and supplies, increasing utility bills, baby food shortages, tampoon shortages, 401Ks being utterly wrecked for most folks, etc., etc. But leave it to squirrelly Repubs to think and believe otherwise.

Maybe sometime this December, though, or in January. Pretty darn hot this time of year.

Candidate Trump: I’ll appoint Supreme Court justices to overturn Roe v. Wade abortion case: OCT 19 2016

PUBLISHED WED, OCT 19 2016 9:31 PM EDT, UPDATED WED, OCT 19 2016 10:00 PM EDT

Dan Mangan @_DANMANGAN

Donald Trump said the overturning of the landmark Supreme Court decision giving women the right to abortion “will happen, automatically,” if he is elected president and gets to appoint justices to the high court.

“I am pro-life,” Trump said during Wednesday night’s presidential debate when asked whether he wanted that decision, Roe v. Wade, reversed by the Supreme Court.

Trump said that if the ruling were to be reversed, laws on the legality or illegality of abortion would “go back to the individual states” to decide, which was the case prior to Roe v. Wade.

But when moderator Chris Wallace pressed him on whether he wanted the ruling overturned.

Trump said, “That will happen, automatically in my opinion!” because he would get to nominate potentially several justices to the court.

In response, Hillary Clinton said, “I strongly support Roe v. Wade.”

“I will defend Roe v. Wade, I will defend a woman’s right to make her own decision,” Clinton said.

She criticized Trump for having said in the past that a woman should be punished if she got an abortion when it was made illegal.

Trump fired back, saying Clinton was in favor of partial-birth abortions being legal, which meant that a fetus could be “ripped out” of a mother’s womb a day before she was due to give birth.
