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.” ***

“It’s starting to freak me out a bit, quite honestly.”
It’s been freaking me out for a couple of years. But I keep in mind that it’s likely a good many Trumpbots may very well be trolls. It’s truly mind boggling that so many people could actually be so naive and disillusioned.
How is Trump supposed to negotiate with Democrats if it’s a state issue? He would have no negotiating stance on a state basis. Sheesh...
You forgot Alito. Why are you lying?
“I thought the latest ruling by the Supreme court said that it was up to the states and not the Federal Gov..”
I think what is said was that abortion was not a constitutional RIGHT. However, I don’t think they ruled a federal law on abortion would be illegal.
Phyllis Diller was asked to describe childbirth. She responded with “Take your lower lip and stretch it over the back of your head.”
Wise words
Why do you think we’re talking about transgenderism and children.
It’s a new issue to suck the air out of the Democrats abortion mania.
When we talk about genital mutilation of children and transgenderism in elementary schools new emotions that get over 60 percent of the vote on the GOP side are generated.
Just put your money where your mouth is and use it to help discerning parents. That’s all. Otherwise it’s just in that hands of lobbyists

Six weeks is after one "missed period".
Why do you need another..."to be sure"?
My daughter had one .

Thank you, Captain Obvious. That phrase was used for the sake of argument, but let me spell it out: “If Trump pushes Congress for legislation outlawing abortion for any reason and then Congress passes a law prohibiting abortion which Trump then signs…”
No, he’s not. He merely answered a hypothetical question. You can get your panties in a bunch when he’s POTUS again and supports a federal ban on abortion that’s well past the viability age. We have a few bridges to cross until then.
Says the poster named “chickenlips.” 🤣
Good heavens, it wasn’t torture. Get a grip. And nowadays women are given epidural, my daughter barely felt a thing.
I’ve been here since 1998. I’m a female and a Trump supporter who has never made a dime from any PAC or the RNC. I think the paid trolls are ppl who’ve only been here for the last few years or post infrequently. I’d suggest you examine their posting history for more “clues.” For you to suggest longtime freepers are paid trolls is insulting.
Trump turned the government over to Fauci and he shut us down. When gyms were closed, I could no longer do a 14-minute mile on the treadmill 5 days a week. And so, I ended uo in the hospital with heart failure. Cardiologists I’ve spoken with say there was a noticeable uptick of heart problems with shutdowns.
Powerline Blog has an article about it today, “Trump Failed The Covid Test”

So, no, I’m not on the Trump train. Wish we had a better candidate.
