Donald Trump has repeatedly taken credit for the US Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to revoke a constitutional right to abortion care, a landmark ruling that has upended abortion access for millions of Americans in the months that followed.
Within his one four-year term, the former president appointed three conservative justices to the nine-member panel, tilting the court’s ideological balance in a promised effort to achieve a long-held Republican goal of overturning the 1973 decision in Roe v Wade.
The conservative majority’s decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization has proved unpopular with most Americans and has fuelled victories in several Democratic campaigns and ballot measures to protect abortion rights.
In remarks to a crowd of supporters at a South Dakota rally on 8 September, the former president – who once said “I’m the one that got rid of Roe v Wade” – admitted that the Supreme Court decision has “probably cost” the GOP politically.
“Last year, those justices bravely and incredibly ruled on something that everybody has wanted for decades,” Mr Trump said. “They ruled to end Roe v Wade. That was a big thing. And it’s probably cost us politically, because the other side got energised.”
Mr Trump, who has touted himself as the “most pro-life president in American history” while promising capital punishment against drug offenders and human traffickers, is among Republican candidates jockeying for the GOP’s 2024 nomination while navigating the post-Roe landscape of anti-abortion activism – and proposals for a national ban – against widespread opposition to anti-abortion laws.
He has previously called Ron DeSantis’s Florida ban on abortion access at six weeks of pregnancy “too harsh,” drawing a rare rebuke from an influential anti-abortion group. Mr Trump has avoided saying directly whether he would sign legislation to ban abortion nationally. ***

THEY are the radicals on Abortion. We have to point that out.
This. Right here.
“Hey guys it was all worth it, even though all those latino and black babies will grow up to be democratic voters and put us white people into death camps but it was totally worth it for white people to be genocided!”
That would be those in the Uniparty
I mean abortion. The term “abortion care” is self contradicting.
Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, voter referendums on abortion restrictions have been overwhelmingly defeated everywhere they’ve been on a ballot — including in some of the most heavily Republican states.
That's base loves Trump because no politician in recent history has kept his promises like Trump.
The conservatives also need to take the gloves off by pointing out that liberals object to ANY means of carrying out an execution of murderers and rapists, but they have no objections to ramming scissors into the base of the skulls of almost born babies and sucking their brains out!!
The procedures of partial birth abortions should be put front and center! It would take enthusiasm out of those who blindly support “a woman’s right to choose” with no concern about what these women are choosing.
Exactly. Uniparty Republicans is what I should have said. I wonder how many Republicans in the house or senate are completely fake Republicans. They run as an R only because they live in a majority R state/congressional district. They may actually completely disagree with Conservative principles. I do not believe there are any fake Democrats.
Some hills are worth dying over.
It did cost the Republicans royally. For sure it cost us Pennsylvania. Fetterman jumped on it...with pink shirts....the whole ball of wax.
Not worth it, how many freedoms will be lost due to Democrats taking power because of it. Someone who wants an abortion can just go to a state that they are legal in.

Yours is the boldest pro-abortion voice on FR that I have ever heard.
No wonder you are a just signed up retread.
So why exactly you think banning the ownship of humans at the Federal level is stupid ?
You may not be a history buff since you are not aware we have done it before.
Yep, it’s pretty clear that Rush’s “center right country” is gone, and the majority today want abortion. That it’s a moral issue is clear from the parallel decline in church attendance/membership and the corruption within many so-called “spiritual leaders” and in the schools. When those who should be convincing the youth that abortion is wrong are failing or lack credibility and they are being sexualized at an early age and worry about pregnancy, the poll numbers make sense.
Notice you did not accuse me of being incorrect.
Who is aborted the most? latinos and blacks
Who makes up the most violent groups and reliable democratic voters? latinos and blacks
Trump on Gov. DeSantis signing the six week abortion ban known as the “Heartbeat” bill:
“If you look at what DeSantis did, a lot of people don’t even know if he knew what he was doing. But he signed six weeks, and many people within the pro-life movement feel that that was too harsh.”
He’s right it’s a horrible issue that motivates leftist sows by the millions.
Exactly
Apparently the press is upset someone was willing to take credit for righting a fifty year stain on the national conscience against his political interests. They don’t know what to do
