Also from this article: The bigger problem is that Trump's general hostility toward limited government conservatism indicates that he would not want to appoint a constitutionalist to the Supreme Court. Trump still supports allowing the government to seize private property for commercial use, and a Supreme Court justice who shares this view will almost certainly be a liberal activist on issues across the board. Even if Trump wanted to appoint a constitutionalist, there's no reason to think he'd know how to pick one in the first place.

Every projection shows Trump getting crushed by Hillary so it’s a moot issue.

Donald Trump on Abortion
I am now pro-life; after years of being pro-choice:
Donald Trump shocked attendees at the conservative CPAC conference in February when he declared himself pro-life after years of supporting the pro-abortion position. Several months ago, when questioned about his position, Trump responded by saying the public "would be surprised" by his stance and, in an interview with Laura Ingraham from Fox News leading up to the conference, Trump characterized himself as "pro-life" and he repeated that apparent reversal when he told the audience at CPAC, "I am pro-life" and pledged to fight for the reversal of ObamaCare, which contains abortion funding loopholes.As the 2012 race intensifies, pro-life advocates must call upon Donald Trump to further explain his stand on important pro-life issues like Supreme Court nominations and repeal of the pro-abortion Obama healthcare law.

I changed my views to pro-life based on personal stories:Q: Evangelicals want to feel secure that they're going to have a nominee that's solid on those social issues.
A: One thing about me, I'm a very honorable guy. I'm pro-life, but I changed my view a number of years ago. One of the primary reasons I changed [was] a friend of mine's wife was pregnant, and he didn't really want the baby. He was crying as he was telling me the story. He ends up having the baby and the baby is the apple of his eye. It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to him. And you know here's a baby that wasn't going to be let into life. And I heard this, and some other stories, and I am pro-life.
Q: So those stories did change you, they came around and changed you?
A: They changed me. Yeah, they changed my view as to that, absolutely.

I am pro-life; fight ObamaCare abortion funding:
Billionaire Donald Trump told the Conservative Political Action Conference that he's thinking about running for president. His remarks drew lots of applause and cheers from the crowd, who will play a key role in grass-roots organizing for the eventual 2012 GOP presidential nominee. "I'm well acquainted with winning," Trump said. "That's what this country needs now."

Yes. Next question.
Would he be pro gay Marriage? Yes. Next question.
Would he appoint conservative judges? No. Next question.
Is he a con artist. Yes. Next question.

Trump would fund planned parenthood. He said it. Trump trashed Cruz for not making deals with dems who want to fund planned parenthood.

I trust Cruz ON the court......less so in the White Hut.
Question??? Which would you rather have Cruz on the SC for the rest of his life, or Cruz in the WH for 4 (8) years?
Cruz on the Court would protect us for generations.....

As mentioned in related threads, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to appropriate tax dollars to pay for abortions.
In fact, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified, in broad terms, that Congress cannot appropriate taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue which Congress cannot ustify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, paying for abortions not among those enumerated powers.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. - Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
The reason that the corrupt Washington cartel has been appropriating taxes for years to pay for abortions is because pro-abortion activist justices not only stole legislative branch powers to establish such a right from the bench, but they breached the Founding States division of state and federal government powers and stole 10th Amendment protected state legislative powers to do so.
So even if Trump is a pro-abortion president, it remains that the House does not have the constitutional authority to appropriate revenues to pay for vote-winning abortions.
Remember in November !
So if patriots elect Trump, or whatever conservative they elect, they will also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its Section 8-limited powers to support the president.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

The chances that abortion on demand would do anything but continue unabated is ZERO.
I am very, very proud to say that I am pro-life. Donald Trump

If Trump finds posing as pro-life to benefit him, he’ll morph into a clone of Franklin Graham if he can.

We were told we “had to voter for GW Bush” because of the courts. What did that get Conservatives?
The old lies and slogans of the Conservative Establishment Media no longer work.
Conservatives are starting to wake up to the fact that we are the Blacks on the GOP plantation.
For decades we have shook our heads wondering why blacks line up to vote for the Dims decade after decade despite the utter destruction the Dims have brought to their community.
Trump has made many of them realize Conservatives are the Blacks of the GOP plantation. We line up year after year, sacrifice our time and money, and what do we get? A GOP political machine this is virtually identical to the Dims who comes around every 2 years saying “If you just give us this, everything will be awesome.”
Ask yourself this. Despite giving the entire Government to the GOP under Bush, was any item on the Conservative agenda advanced? Looking at the 3 Presidencies honestly, how are the 2 Bush’s Presidency any different then the Clinton’s in terms of spending, growth of government or regulatory over reach?
Sadly the answer is NO. And what many of us are realizing is the tools of the Conservative establishment i.e. Town-hall, Heritage Foundation, Club for Growth, NRO, etc are the GOP equivalents of the âCivil Rights Leaders” that keep blacks on the Democrat’s plantation

Big question: Who do you Trust more on the Courts?
Thats the same question used every election cycle to scare people into voting for gope after the fraud primary season is over.
We keep trying to elect those that have been pro-life forever, but somehow, we are still funding PP and cannot manage to get rid of abortion after 20 weeks. Even Europe has that exclusion.
I now can’t help believe this is more an issue to keep folks on the plantation. It seems to be working again I see.

Just last summer Donald Trump said before defunding Planned Parenthood, we should look at their âgood aspects.â
Donald Trump would pick a pro-eminent domain judge before he would pick a pro-Constitutional judge who respects LIFE, liberty...........

Do people think he will give us more abortion than we have now? How can a president stop abortion? Reagan couldn’t stop it and now in fact it is far more widespread.
