Trump suggests he'd support a national ban on abortions around 15 weeks of pregnancy

Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that he’d support a national ban on abortions around 15 weeks of pregnancy, voicing for the first time support for a specific limit on the procedure.

The Republican former president has taken credit for striking down a federally guaranteed right to abortion by appointing three U.S. Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. As he seeks the White House a third time, Trump has refrained from embracing any specific limit on the procedure, warning it could backfire politically and instead suggesting he would “negotiate” a policy on abortion that would include exceptions for cases of rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother.

But in a radio interview Tuesday, Trump criticized Democrats for not endorsing a ban that would limit abortions in states that still allow the procedure.

“We’re going to come up with a time — and maybe we could bring the country together on that issue," Trump said while calling into the “Sid & Friends in the Morning” show on WABC.

Trump went on to say: “The number of weeks now, people are agreeing on 15. And I’m thinking in terms of that. And it’ll come out to something that’s very reasonable. But people are really, even hard-liners are agreeing, seems to be, 15 weeks seems to be a number that people are agreeing at."

I strongly beg to differ. It is a very Christian endeavor to be engaged in the civic order of our communities and states and nation. Jesus said, “Occupy until I come.” We may be called and qualified to do that service unto Him through holding public office. Also the Jews dragged off to Babylon/Persia were told to work for the blessing of the host nation, as they would be captive there 70 years, and it would benefit themselves to do so.

One does not have to set aside godliness to be a politician. Many do, but not all.

After 15 weeks a preborn baby can feel pain. As a country we have an obligation to end this barbarism

Effectively not a ban, as most abortions occur within that window.

Nearly all abortions in 2021 took place early in gestation: 93.5% of abortions were performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation;

This is a third-rail issue and he needs to step away from it. The SCOTUS ruled it’s a states rights issue. He’ll lose if he goes that way. Take it off the issue off the table.
