Trump calls six-week abortion bans ‘terrible’
MSN ^ | 09/17/2023 | Mariana Alfaro et al

Former president Donald Trump, the front-runner in the GOP presidential primary, said a state abortion law signed by his top challenger, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), which bans the procedure after six weeks, is “terrible.”

In April, DeSantis signed the controversial law, which will go into effect if the Florida Supreme Court upholds the state’s 15-week ban on abortion that he signed into law last spring. At a hearing this month, the Florida justices appeared open to upholding the limiting ban.

Trump, in an interview that aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” criticized DeSantis for being “willing to sign a five-week and six-week ban.”

“I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake,” Trump said.

DeSantis’s six-week ban — which includes exceptions for rape, incest, medical emergencies and “fatal fetal abnormalities” — would outlaw the procedure in Florida before many people know they’re pregnant.

The new host of “Meet the Press,” Kristen Welker, asked Trump if he’d sign federal legislation that would ban abortion at 15 weeks, a limit that antiabortion groups and some lawmakers have rallied behind.

Trump said no, and said he’d seek to negotiate with Democrats on the issue.

Trump declined to say what time frame he thinks is appropriate for an abortion ban and instead insisted that he would “sit down with both sides and I’d negotiate something, and we’ll end up with peace on that issue for the first time in 52 years.”

“Both sides are going to like me,” he added. “I’m going to come together with all groups, and we’re going to have something that’s acceptable.” ***

How do you feel about DeSantis legalizing abortion before 6 weeks? Is that not baby murdering?

______________________________________

Quit deflecting on DeSantis and his signing the best most strictest anti abortion laws in the USA.

And start explaining why Trump is opposed to that law. And explain why Trump wants to negotiate with Democrats.

“ Costing elections vs costing lives?”

———————————-

Brilliant!!!!!!! Tell DeSantis that the 6 wk ban is STILL abortion. He should have demanded a total ban on any abortions…….

Better yet, EVERY republican in DC and nationwide should do the same thing. Then we can honestly lose every election nationwide, no cheating needed. Then we can sit back and watch Democratic leadership in every town.

Every person here that criticizes Trump for not banning abortions should be criticizing EVERY republican nationwide including DeSantis. Abortion is abortion is abortion regardless of the time frame. Stop being hypocrites.

Does the nation want abortions banned? No. Like it or not.
If you’re still voting for republicans, you’re supporting abortion. It’s not about Trump, it’s about voter’s hypocrisy seen here often on FR. Rules for thee but not for me.

“Quit deflecting on DeSantis and his signing the best most strictest anti abortion laws in the USA.”

Once again, you are missing the obvious.

This article and thread are about Trump, DeSantis, the Presidential election and the politics of abortion.

Trump has it right, DeSantis has it wrong.

Both Trump and DeSantis spoke at the Family Research Council event the other day. Guess who got over 70% of the straw vote that followed?

Yeah.... He only got Roe vs Wade reversed.

Maybe in 2024 we shouldn’t try to inflame the revenge of the whores at the state level.

For me, as a man, the idea of the pain and torture of childbirth is something I’m glad I don’t have to go through.

Getting kicked in the nuts is worse. When a woman has a baby, a year or two later she very commonly says she would like to go through it again, and then maybe again. But you’ll never hear a man say he’s ready for another kick in nuts.

Never...

I couldn’t possibly guess. Since it was not Trump.

But Trump did win the polls that did. Despite his pro-abort policies. Trump won on the overall positions he has.

Just imagine how popular Trump would be if he supported States Rights against abortion.

Well shoot, obviously if we can’t get a candidate that wants a complete ban on abortions then we need to support a candidate that will support full term abortions, legalization of pedophilia and the incarceration of anyone opposed to such policies.

Trump has done more for the pro-life movement than any president before him. Of course he’ll get the pro-life vote, silly.


Was Trump’s $100k donation to the Clinton Foundation in support of the pro-life movement?

“Trump said no, and said he’d seek to negotiate with Democrats on the issue.”

The problem is... negotiating with the Democrats... which is like making deals with the devil... is what got us into the current FUBAR mess we’re in now. What would Jesus do?

This sealed my plans on ever voting for Trump again as he will “ negotiate” the murder of Babies with Satan’s minions??? Clearly Trump has not learned a darned thing...

I too knew two women who had Ectopic pregnancies. They both wanted children and this mentally tore them apart. Still and all, both would have died and so would their unborn babes, had they not had the abortions.

And no, Ectopics were not usually caught very early on in pregnancies. If they are now, I don't know about that.

I stand corrected:
Trump 63.9%; DeSantis 27.3%

“Just imagine how popular Trump would be if he supported States Rights against abortion.”

Trump is doing better than ever. He seems focused, relaxed and is indefatigable.

And he is quite popular with pro-life voters

Sigh…

If you draw a line publicly on the sand you leave yourself no room to negotiate. If someone says we will accept nothing less than X then all the other side has to do is offer just shy of X and when you refuse they can claim they were reasonable and tried…. Never show your hand from the start.

The guy got Roe overturned something. No establishment Republican was ever going to do, and it’s never enough with some people

A national ban from conception on abortion is not going to happen, anyone selling you it is is lying to you.

“The goal should be no abortions, no exceptions.”

Politics is the art of what is possible. And as much as I agree with you right now a total ban isn’t politically possible. We need to take a page from their playbook and work incrementally.

We didn’t arrive where we are now all at once and we won’t return to where things were all at once either.

Grown ups realize this.

And sadly Ectopic pregnancies are NOT as "rare" as most suppose they are.

An ectopic pregnancy comes under the category of an allowed abortion to save the life of a mother. This problem can be seen by an ultrasound around 5 to 6 weeks. I don’t know of any state that bans medically necessary abortions, do you?
