Former President Donald Trump has drawn outrage from pro-life conservatives after he panned a six-week abortion ban championed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as “terrible.”
“I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake,” Trump, 77, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” when asked about the policy in an interview that aired Sunday.
The 45th president’s remarks triggered backlash among anti-abortion activists, including from groups like Live Action and Students for Life,***
“Pathetic and shameful. Trump is actively attacking the very pro-life laws made possible by Roe’s overturning,” Lila Rose of Live Action said on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Heartbeat Laws have saved thousands of babies. But Trump wants to compromise on babies’ lives so pro-abort Dems ‘like him.’ Trump should not be the GOP nominee.

The Susan B. Anthony List, which has pushed candidates to call for a national abortion ban — and criticized candidates like DeSantis who have declined to do so — initially had a tame response to Trump.
“We’re at a moment where we need a human rights advocate, someone who is dedicated to saving the lives of children and serving mothers in need. Every single candidate should be clear on how they plan to do that,” Marjorie Dannenfelser, SBA president, said in a statement.
“Anything later than a 15 week protection for babies in the womb (when science proves they can feel pain) as a national minimum standard makes no sense.”
We've already seen the disastrous results of Donald Trump compromising with Democrats: over $7 trillion in new debt, an unfinished border wall, and the jailbreak First Step Act letting violent criminals back on to the streets.

“Republicans across the country know that Ron DeSantis will never back down.”

You seem to be some sort of basket case.
And you seem deficient in brain cells
I explained my reasoning, too bad your tranny brain cannot comprehend logic
The same logic that leads you to call every Freeper who disagrees with you "tranny"? The logic that makes you equate a simple request to stay on topic with “I will pretend that the Biden administration is not encouraging minorities to beat up white people and absolve them of any crimes while throwing white people in jail for protesting voter fraud”? 
“DeSantis will improve his primary chances with this position.
Nope, not even a little bit. Not even for a day or so.
The guy is toast, and toast he will remain.”
You might be right. You might be wrong.
Is it against Free Republic rules to bet on such things?
“DeSantis will improve his primary chances with this position.
For about one day, and then the truth will sink in that DeSanctimonious has his own problem on Abortion because his policy kills the unborn babies as well.”
In your eyes, is there any current candidate without that problem?
Funny, Democrat Presidents NEVER make a mistake.
It was implied and you damn well know it.
Trump DID make that promise, KEPT it and that is why he has done more for the pro-life movement than any single person in the past 50 years.
Anyone that doesn't understand that is either an imbecile or a lying, Republican establishment operative.
Only someone willfully blind doesn't realize that was only made possible by Donald Trump.
As I previously stated, it will take several generations to get rid of the mentality that you can abort your child whenever you desire.
The issue of abortion has been wrestled from the claws of the federal government, as prayed for.
As a result, we could finally have a national election ahead of us without abortion as an agenda item --- and yet Conservatives want to add it back --- Supreme Court victory be damned.
Re-make this a national issue at your peril.
Conservatives need to let go of this as a federal election issue and turn their focus to their own backyards --- where efforts to save life are now generated.
Do you know why crime peaked in the early 90’s and then immediately dropped?
Because at that time is when roe v wade came into effect in the early 90’s as in men who would have been at the age doing peak crime were not around to do so because of the decision in the early 70’s
Any excuse will do, I guess.
True...but not all blacks need to get put in 20 schools. Everyone recognizes inner city schools have issues but give a black child good solid parenting and a chance at a good education and most times they excell and do well.
The Great society programs of the 60’s did great damage to our nation particularly black families. The declines in the American black family structures can be literally tracked from the Dem socialists.(All current social ills can be traced from them). The socialist marxists of that era knew what they were doing when they attempted to drive wedges between the races.
They were panicking in the early 2000’s when it looked like racial divisions were beginning to heal. So they got Obama(who is only 1 percent black, 50 percent white and 49 percent ARAB according to his own books) and there’s been trouble since. These “restorative justice”, woke, DEI, CRT movements are Marxist led!
I think you are a operative plant to try to ferret out all the supposed Freeper racists and get them wound up. Get lost!
When they planted their flag in the Bush New World Order (WEF) camp.
They believe that anything that puts American Main Street first is not Conservative(TM).
SoConPubbie - Post 152...spot on. Well thought out and well said.
No rules about it, but I don't want to take your money. After all, DeSantis hasn't improved his standing week over week ***even once*** since he announced.
