TRUMP IS THE MOST PRO-LIFE PRESIDENT IN HISTORY: HERE ARE THE FACT

In June 2022, the long-standing infamous Supreme Court ruling of Roe v. Wade and its subsequent reaffirmation in Planned Parenthood v. Casey was dashed to pieces when three newly appointed Supreme Court justices tipped the scales forever in a victory for life.

With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, federal protection for abortion was terminated, answering the prayers of millions of conservatives, people of faith, and passionate pro-life advocates across the nation. The fall of Roe v. Wade was nothing short of a miracle for proponents of the pro-life movement, and it is a victory for life that should never be understated.

Now, the abortion argument has been resigned to the sovereign states, giving pro-life advocates and conservatives a powerful negotiating tool for crafting life-saving legislation.

It is a fact that President Donald Trump was responsible for appointing three conservative Supreme Court justices while he was in office, providing a pathway toward overturning Roe v. Wade. It is also a fact that President Trump remains the first and only sitting president to ever attend the March for Life rally in Washington, D.C.

In one term of his presidency, President Trump easily did more for the pro-life movement than many other so-called conservative presidents did in decades. This is indisputable. Despite his success in bridging the gap between hard-left pro-choice advocates and supporters of the pro-life movement, cancel culture has come for Trump once again – but the arguments against him are falling flat.

Trump understands how to win on this topic

President Trump sat down over the weekend with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” where he discussed Joe Biden, policy, and his 2024 presidential bid. In a question regarding whether he would sign a 15-week federal ban on abortion, Trump stated that as president again, he would sit down with “both sides” and negotiate a deal that would result in “peace on that issue for the first time in 52 years.”

He additionally pointed out that Gov. DeSantis’s, R-Fla., decision to sign a six-week ban on abortion was a “terrible mistake,” referring to the political ramifications on a national scale.

These comments drew the ire of conservative commenters and disgruntled social media users, who were quick to label Trump as someone who was advocating for the murder of babies in the womb.

Reminder that if the Trump-hating TRUE CONSERVATIVES had their way, Hillary Clinton would have been president and appointed 3 justices to the Supreme Court. Roe v Wade would have been expanded and we'd be debating direct government funding for abortion by now— Jack Poso 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) September 18, 2023

However, to paint Trump as an advocate of abortion is not simply disingenuous but wholly untrue. It also purposely fails to acknowledge the political context of his comments, of which he has always been crystal clear. Trump has unilaterally been transparent that he is “pro-life” with the three exceptions of rape, incest, and the life of the mother, per Politico. Some pro-life advocates may disagree with his three exceptions rule, but it is a fact that he has never changed his stance since 2016.

The president has also strongly condemned “abortion-on-demand” and late-term abortions.

This summer, he reaffirmed his commitment to protecting babies in the womb during remarks delivered at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority” conference in Washington, D.C.

“I will continue to fight against the demented late-term abortionists in the Democrat Party who believe in unlimited abortion-on-demand and even executing babies after BIRTH,” he said.

Over the weekend, the president delivered keynote remarks at the CWALAC’s Leadership Summit in D.C., addressing the political battleground of abortion in the United States today. He explained, “We can win elections on this issue, but it’s very delicate and explaining it properly is an extremely important thing. You have to be able to speak and explain it properly. A lot of politicians who are pro-life don’t know how to discuss this topic.”

He’s right. According to a 2023 Gallup poll, 51 percent of Americans today believe that abortion should be legal “only under certain circumstances,” while only 13 percent believe that “it should be illegal in all circumstances.”

Americans love abortion. Whenever abortion is on the ballot, even in Republican leaning states, abortion wins. Trump made it so that states can decide as the fake Roe v Wade was overruled. As POTUS it’s not up to him.— Cernovich (@Cernovich) September 17, 2023

Like it or not, the country is deeply divided on the issue of abortion, and if conservatives fail to negotiate on this issue properly, Republicans will not only lose the White House in 2024 – they will lose every election afterward. And, in the face of an overreaching and tyrannical Biden regime, it is unthinkable that conservatives would allow Democrats to win on the issue of abortion simply because they are unwilling to strategically assess the modern political landscape.

One battle at a time wins the war

Hardline pro-life advocates staunchly push for the full termination of abortion in all 50 states. For those who value lives in the womb, this is a reasonable goal to work toward.

Pro-choice advocates, by contrast, would like to see a return to nationwide federal protection on abortion. In a nation where only 13 percent of Americans want to see abortion outlawed, there is no viable political path to the White House at this time without some compromise on the issue of abortion. This is a sad but stark fact. Trump alone seems to understand this.

Populist news account Election Wizard explained it like this: “Trump, the most pro-life POTUS, is trying to lead pro-lifers away from snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Making abortion a non-issue in 2024 is a smart play. Since Dobbs, the Red states of KS, KY, MT, and OH put abortion bans on the ballot. All of them failed.”

This is an astute observation, and it echoes Trump’s comments in his “Meet the Press” interview, where he said he would “bring peace on that issue” for the first time in decades. And, looking at Trump’s history of brokering stunning peace deals across the world during his presidency, there can be no doubt that he has the skill and the experience to negotiate a federal abortion ban that would save the lives of millions of babies.

The alternative to electing a great negotiator like Trump, who has expertly captured the majority support of the populist electorate in the country, is to allow Democrats to sway Independent voters (who currently favor Trump) and to hand a victory to Joe Biden. If this happens, the United States as we know it will fall deeper into tyranny, and Americans everywhere can kiss the possibility of continuing to work toward saving unborn babies goodbye.

In America today, the abortion issue must be won battle by battle, not war by war. Conservatives would do well to heed Trump’s strategy here to save the country from total ideological and political obliteration at the hands of an ever-encroaching federal machine.

“A lot of never-Trumpers, who didn’t support him the first time around, are taking over social media and websites like this one”

ROTFLMAO! The pro-Trump influencers post multiple threads everyday often posting the same article from several different sites.

“No I don’t think he’s as anti abortion as I am but he got Roe overturned”

He didn’t. He had to pledge to nominate from a provided list in order to get elected.

Besides he is now shaming DeSantis for supporting strict abortion limits.

Looks like to me Trump is trying to get a federal ban in addition to the state bans his Supreme Court allowed.

How is that not a good thing. And BTW, Trump can't do that if he isn't elected.

But he is not criticizing states with lax abortion limits. He said he was fine with that.

If Trump was fine with the abortions in blue states he wouldn't be proposing to federally ban them!

And during a former democrat celebrity billionaire’s one and only 4 years in office, he selected some judges that finally did what some said could never be done.

And did another Pro Life Move:
Didn’t start any wars where death is assured...

Quite a 4 year term for a non politician..
No wonder they stole his reelection.

You make a good argument. Making abortion rare comes down to changing hearts and minds, which ultimately means changing the culture. Can’t be done overnight, nor by blanket government bans. The blowback from a federal ban would sink any hope of us ever getting political power again.

I don’t know if Trump is the most pro life but he did appoint three pro life Supreme Court Justices, and Mitch McConnell help get them through the Senate so there is that. Good things happen when people work together for a good cause

Hey Bikkuri,

Do you know why?

The only people that use the phrase “Bible-thumping” are leftists.

That does not take away from Trump’s accomplishments, though. However, he’s going to find out yet again that you cannot negotiate with the left.

The left just wants to try to diminish the fact that he knew stacking the USSC would lead to overturning Roe v Wade.

Child sacrifice is an desolate abomination. God punishes abominations severely. I don’t think anyone is taking this seriously enough, including myself. When your hand is in a fire, you don’t take a poll or negotitate on how much you should let it burn while claiming you are more pro-hand than anybody else.

Well what about Sam Alito? And his dad got Clarence Thomas, or have you forgotten? He didn’t know that Roberts was going to drop some stink bombs on us. But even Justice Roberts went along with the conservative justices on many other cases! Why do some of you who dump on GWB seem to harp about the things he does wrong? In carping about Harriet Meirs, you completely left out Sam Alito, who he also appointed?

I go along with some of what you said. However, didn’t Bush get Justice Alito in? His dad got Justice Thomas in too, after a nasty battle with Anita Hill? Yeah, he did get Justice Roberts in, and he was disappointing on a few cases. But he went along with the conservatives in a lot of other cases! And he was prolife, as far as we all thought! Also, from what I remember, many conservative, pro-life people complained so much about Meirs, that her name was withdrawn, or she withdrew it.Pres. Bush was pretty conservative on pro-life issues. I guess a lot of people have forgotten that now, sadly!

Yeah, from what I’ve read recently, a couple of leaders from some pro-life organizations have been really scolding him about the comments he made about Gov. De Santis signing that “Heartbeat Law”! They supported Pres. Trump wholeheartedly, but were seriously disgusted with the comments he’s made recently, bashing that law! He called them “terrible” and “much too harsh”! He claimed that it was a huge mistake for De Santis to sign that law! These ladies said that babies’ lives were not negotiable, and making deals and negotiating with pro-abortion Democrats, was not pro-life. They think that the Trump who gave those answers/comments, is not the same Trump they supported, and has changed!
