Donald Trump said Thursday he would change the Republican Party platform's position on abortion to include exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother.
Trump made the remarks during a town hall on the "Today" show on NBC on Thursday morning when host Savannah Guthrie asked him about abortion exceptions.
"The Republican platform every four years has a provision that states that the right of the unborn child should not be infringed," Guthrie said. "And it makes no exceptions for rape, for incest, for the life of the mother. Would you want to change the Republican platform to include the (abortion) exceptions that you have?"
"Yes, I would. Yes, I would. Absolutely," Trump said. "For the three exceptions, I would."
Currently, the Republican platform abortion policy reads: "We assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed."

You live in a Marxist-dominated nation, what makes you think a conservative is ever going to be elected to an important leadership position here?
Take whatever you can get and hunker down, the trip down the rabbit-hole to the New Dark Ages is going to be a wild one. Hell if we just got a border wall and kept the Muslims out as much as possible, that’d be more than I’d ever expect out of this country.
Lol. Trump has “evolved” on damn near everything.
...but if you feel all life is valued you have to have this as your basis...
If all life is valued are against the death penalty?
Does that also mean that if use my firearm to defend my life that I’m guilty of murder
Uh oh. Now you’ve done it. POinting out hypocrisy. It’s getting easier and easier to do these days.
In your example Cruz lied. Here is Trump’s position on Health care.

I disagree with Trump on incest--unless it involved rape;-- but otherwise, his exceptions are only fair. To hold otherwise is to simply sacrifice all natural rights of an innocent girl.
How does it feel to simply just lie like no tomorrow? Just paraphrase and mislead...how do you do it so easily?
I totally agree.
I’ve often wondered if there was anything, anything that Trump could do which would cause any disquiet or discomfort or re-thinking of the trumpers.
There seems to be nothing.
His liberal side seeps out as he thinks he’s got this election sewed up and trumpers go right along.
Did Trump say it wasn’t murder?
One is attainable the other isn't. The founding fathers did not want slavery codified in the constitution but recognized that was not attainable at the time.
Over half the population is female and the large majority of them are pro choice even if they say they are not.
I am convinced that any abortion is murder but I am in a small minority in the real world.
Amen.
I just spent all of 30 seconds reading your posting history. You are a complete a-hole and zealot. Have fun getting your blood pressure up over issues that are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
I don't care about the rest of the Net. FR is where I hang out, and Trump's indifference to issues concerning social conservatives is problematic to me and millions of others.
He better get with it and worry about earning our votes.
LOL! And it all goes boom in one day.
Amen.
Trump just keeps on evolving and all his followers evolve along with him.
Will Trump evolve into Hillary?
He had lots of regrets. No fault divorce did more to destroy the family than anything other than drugs.
Those on board the Trump Train...The Donald is adamant about being squeaky clean. lol
Winning New York has made him the Presumptive Nominee. And based on that FReepers better support him or else.
It appears Trump now feels bold enough to let his true agendas be known.
Oh he will do more than that but I told you so.
Your irrelevant is our core value.
I wouldn’t waste time reading your posting history.. why do you do that?
