Slavery was a "state issue" too.
Abortion means allowing a woman to claim her unborn child is her personal property to do with as she pleases.
The Constitution guarantees one cannot forfeit their life without due process.
Trump is toast unless he leans INTO BANNING ABORTION AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, he must show the same clarity, boldness, and moral clarity he did in 2016 when he campaigned on overturning Roe in the courts.
Trump should aggressively attack abortion as anti-minority by correctly stating minority babies are disproportionately slaughtered, and explain that Planned Parenthood was created to reduce the minority population in our country.
Actually, by the time of the 1860 election (Republican takeover of Congress and WH) the Dims had made slavery a national issue. The Dims' Fugitive Slave Trade Act of 1850 penalized people in free states for not helping capture a runaway slave. And the Dim majority Supreme Court rules in Dredd Scott that blacks are never, ever, ever going to be free American citizens.
It's very much like abortion was a national issue for the past 50 years until Trump put constitutionalists on the Supreme Court and overturned Roe. For half a century the Dims had made abortion a national issue even though the Constitution's enumeration clause says that abortion is a state issue. Only because Trump's SCOTUS picks brought abortion back to a state issue where it belongs can we say that abortion is now something that presidential candidates shouldn't push states for or against. There was nothing like that a century and a half ago overturning Dredd Scott and the Fugitive Slave Trade Act to make slavery back to being a state issue.
Only attack 9th month abortions. This is all about demagoguery. Make them look bad, offer no solutions. Try to push them to do something before voting statts
