Trump ripped by right after calling DeSantis’ six-week abortion ban ‘terrible’

Former President Donald Trump has drawn outrage from pro-life conservatives after he panned a six-week abortion ban championed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as “terrible.”

“I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake,” Trump, 77, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” when asked about the policy in an interview that aired Sunday.

The 45th president’s remarks triggered backlash among anti-abortion activists, including from groups like Live Action and Students for Life,***

“Pathetic and shameful. Trump is actively attacking the very pro-life laws made possible by Roe’s overturning,” Lila Rose of Live Action said on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Heartbeat Laws have saved thousands of babies. But Trump wants to compromise on babies’ lives so pro-abort Dems ‘like him.’ Trump should not be the GOP nominee.

The Susan B. Anthony List, which has pushed candidates to call for a national abortion ban — and criticized candidates like DeSantis who have declined to do so — initially had a tame response to Trump.

“We’re at a moment where we need a human rights advocate, someone who is dedicated to saving the lives of children and serving mothers in need. Every single candidate should be clear on how they plan to do that,” Marjorie Dannenfelser, SBA president, said in a statement.

“Anything later than a 15 week protection for babies in the womb (when science proves they can feel pain) as a national minimum standard makes no sense.”

We've already seen the disastrous results of Donald Trump compromising with Democrats: over $7 trillion in new debt, an unfinished border wall, and the jailbreak First Step Act letting violent criminals back on to the streets.

“Republicans across the country know that Ron DeSantis will never back down.”

You really think you are slick, don’t you?

I have quoted in its entirety more than once above, and of course you know what you said. The remarks had nothing to do with facts or data. And you know it.

Like I said, your attempt to spin your way out of clearly racist and pro-abortion comments is pathetic.

[ifinnegan]

Yeah right.

The President who got Roe v Wade overturned.

The talk talk do nothings snipe and virtue signal.

These are the same people sniping now who did not defund Planned Parenthood in 2017.

[Hot Tabasco]

I sure would like to read the entire Trump conversation before I cast any judgment.

For what it's worth, every frickin election cycle the MSM always brings up the abortion issue with every popular GOP candidate in an attempt to divide and conquer.

Do you think every single democrat political candidate supports abortions? Not likely. But you will never hear the MSM ever questioning if they may be opposed to abortion on demand.

And until the SOTUS overturned Row V. Wade, there is not a single thing any president could do to overturn it but yet the MSM always made it an issue with any GOP candidate.

And lets not forget, It was Trump's Supreme Court nominees that made it possible.......'

[Responsibility2nd]

Ok, I told you not to go there. But you did. You didn't listen to me.

So let me get this straight. This is now Lindsey Graham's fault? Trump is being led by the nose making pro-abort comments because of Lindsey?

Your comments seem to take issue with Graham. And I can't understand why. Because Trump LIKES Senator Linda.

Yes he does.

[wiseprince]

Ok, since everything is straight forward answer this question for me. Curious:

Would you allow 1 child to die in order to save 100m children?

We know what Jesus would do, what would you do?

[Colo9250]

Since everyone says that abortion is a sin I have to wonder why so many in the republican party are willing to lose elections just for that issue.

Yes it is a sin, and so is sodomy and a lot of other things that the republican party doesn’t fight against. Abortion is murder, no other way to see it so if the other side is so intent on killing their children why should we stop them.

Yes that is a cruel way to look at life but life itself is cruel at we are just mortal men and women, not Gods. Six, twelve or fifteen weeks, it doesn’t matter because it is still murder! Either go all the way and declare it to be murder or drop the issue entirely.

Different situation in South Africa than America. A thirst for vengeance and the politics of envy are destroying the legacies of the white farmers and technocrats that could have blessed the whole of the population of South Africa, not just whites but the blacks, Arabs, Indians...everyone. The colonial history was not good but not many in South Africa’s majority are wise about not repeating the mistakes in history.

Fortunately not every nation on the African continent has despised the white farmers from S.A. or from Zimbabwe and these nations have been reaping the benefits of what these experienced white farmers can bring to their nations.

You are trying to link the behaviors of certain USA inner city black feral youths with the behaviors of natives in South Africa, as though this was something genetic. The logic doesn’t follow. There is no supported evidence that one race is more genetically violent than another. Education or the lack of it, and the lack of strong moral teaching is often the deciding factor as to what a human will develop into.

Most nations in Africa are not slaughtering white people as a general rule though tribal groups may slaughter each other. The biggest issuse are the fights between Christian tribes and Muslims in the Northwest and central Africa.

Take your racist drivel elsewhere!

[Pox]

Again, it's not specifically Graham, but Graham's mentality.

It's not specifically Graham, but those who are pushing the same type of national ban that Graham previously pushed.

Like it or not, that retard put himself in that position, not me. President Trump is attempting to distance his position away from that hardline stance. That's his prerogative if he wants to win the upcoming election.

This isn't rocket science, and it's staring anyone who cares to look right in the face.

[Responsibility2nd]

Oh now you're going into situation ethics. We just had the conversation. Perhaps you missed it.

In the meantime - quit trying to hijack the thread with Strawman Arguments. Stay on topic.

[ronniesgal]

bad decisions all around.

[wiseprince]

Yes, people who have no answers deflect. Trump doesn’t deflect, he actually is faced with real decisions. Being a keyboard warrior with all of the answers but none of the solutions. Responsibility2nd....Very fitting name.

[Rattlesnake_Snook]

“There is no supported evidence that one race is more genetically violent than another.”

Then why do blacks commit more crime in every non-black country of the world where they reside?

[SoConPubbie]

Trump thinks he can divide the baby.

Apparently, by your measure, so does DeSanctimonious.

But you forgot to mention that didn't you?!?!

[Rattlesnake_Snook]

“Sure. Just as soon as you tell them how a newbie like yourself knows just what they post.”

Because I used this thing you never heard of called the “search engine”

[SoConPubbie]

Trump and Angry Trumpers are weighing the life of one unborn baby against a Repub vote and they figure babies are not worth it.

Better to lose babies than lose votes.

Whole lot of Hyprocrisy going on around here!

Your guy, DeSanctimonious, is doing what you are accusing President Trump of doing!

[MDLION]

I have great respect for Lila Rose. Won’t compromise truth for political expediency which ends up failing anyways.

[ansel12]

“””If you were about to be murdered, would you wish your murderer did not exist? Or is self defense no longer allowed?”””

Your pro-abortion arguments seem to be primarily that it kills black people.

[Rattlesnake_Snook]

black people do most abortions, followed by latino, followed in very far far 3rd place by whites, and then even less by asians

[SoConPubbie]

And now he wants to negotiate with Democrats. How can Trump or Angry Trumpers hide behind the “States Rights’ argument when they hate DeSantis for being responsible for Florida having The Best anti-abortions laws in the nation?

You seem to forget two things:

1. DeSanctimonious's Abortion policy is only a tiny little bit better as it still results in the murder of the baby! 2. Before anyone, President Trump, or DeSanctimonious can effect change on this issue, they have to get elected. We already so what happens when someone declares they are going to completely shut down abortion in the 2022 election, queue Senator Graham and how he effectively turned a GOP route into almost a GOP whimper.

If you are going to judge, judge righteously, or shut-up!

[ansel12]

That was non-responsive, your pro-abortion position seems to be mainly because you want black people killed.
