It was a loser comment from the political vantage point and from the pro-life one.
The hailstorm from both camps is directed at Trump and The Pro-Life movement is being accused that punishing women is their platform.
I said in a previous thread when this first started that tomorrow’s news would be: Trump wants to punish women.
That has indeed happened.
Unfortunately now it is : Pro-lifers want to punish women.
That has never been the case.
Your observation of the political point I get, as this is how most media view it. But I don’t agree that it does not reflect the prolife point of view. As I said, a host of mitigating circumstances possible, for the mother as for all others involved. But those of us who have spent years in the prolife movement know that in many, perhaps most cases, the mother simply wants to abort (kill) the child for selfish reasons.
