Burgum says he’s ‘evolved’ on abortion since saying women ‘unsafe’ in America before Roe v. Wade

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R), a leading vice presidential contender for former President Trump, said on Sunday he has “evolved” in his position on abortion access in the eight years since he suggested women were unsafe before Roe v. Wade.

In an interview on NBC News’s “Meet the Press,” anchor Kristen Welker pressed Burgum about a clip she played from his 2016 gubernatorial campaign, when Burgum expressed concern about outlawing abortions.

“When you outlaw the ability to terminate pregnancies and make it illegal, it just makes it unsafe for some of the most vulnerable people in the world — young women who are scared, who are afraid, who are in a spot, you know, that they don’t want to be in,” Burgum said in the clip from 2016. “America was an unsafe place for women before Roe v. Wade.”

Abortion is murder. The women have a choice to use birth control.

I don’t really see Burgum adding much to the ticket. I hope DJT looks elsewhere

Evolved: time and chance. In other words, Burgum has no convictions. A true politician

“When you outlaw the ability to terminate pregnancies and make it illegal, it just makes it unsafe for some of the most vulnerable people in the world”

So I guess abortion doesn’t make it unsafe for the targeted baby.

For me, anyone who says that he's "evolved" is evidence that he is a slippery snake with his finger to the wind.

I believe Burgum and Larry Craig share a weekly video call. Burgum puts on his white Uncle Eddie shoes and practices "toe tapping" together with Larry Craig. A lot of fun for the "boys"!

I can understand why it stays with you. Haunting. I want to see one of a baby in utero and a caption saying “my body, my choice”.

Agreed. Beyond the ability to self-finance, he doesn’t add anything. He looks and feels to me like a Secretary of Treasury.

When it comes to gall bladders, there’s no one more pro-choice than I. But a fetus is not a ball bladder; it’s a small human being and a unique person separate from its mother and a DNA test would prove that to be true no matter how early a sample is taken.

Birth control IS cheaper & easier to obtain than ever before.
