“You refuted nothing.”

Nonsense. The problem with you is you’re playing word games, and I’m not having it. You deliberately give simplistic characterizations of Trump’s position on abortion. By saying he’s pro-abortion, you’re implying that he’s in favor of abortions across the board. He’s clearly not. Trump supports allowing abortion in some situations and not in others. So did Reagan and so does DeSantis. Reagan supported allowing it for rape, incest and threats of life to the mother, and DeSantis just signed a bill that continues to allow abortion on demand, prior to six weeks and up to 15 weeks in cases of rape, incest and human trafficking. Would you ever characterize them as “pro-abortion”? Of course not.

If you were interested in telling more of the truth rather than leaving parts out, you could describe all three - Trump, Reagan and DeSantis - as being “pro-abortion” in some instances and anti-abortion, in others. But you don’t. Instead you engage in the same sort of lies by omission we see from the MSM when they don’t report facts that would give a fuller picture.

If your aim is to educate and inform then you would be consistent with your use of terminology. If propaganda is your aim, then you would selectively apply simplistic terminology that is designed to mislead rather than paint the full picture - which is what you’re currently doing. Peddle your propaganda somewhere else, because you’re wasting your time with me. I see through it.

DeSantis reduced abortion in Florida from nearly unlimited to 15 weeks in his first term.

DeSantis then reduced it to 6 weeks in his second term.

That is progress toward the goal of eliminating abortion.

DeSantis, as POTUS, says nothing about abortion. It is a state issue, not a federal issue.

Trump, on the other hand, is making abortion a federal issue again by promising to negotiate a nationwide abortion limit everyone can agree with.

I’ll take the guy who is not anxious to force states that have restricted or eliminated abortion from having to abide by a minimum federal limit.
