NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump said Monday he believes abortion limits should be left to the states, outlining his position in a video in which he declined to endorse a national ban after months of mixed messages and speculation.
“Many people have asked me what my position is on abortion and abortion rights,” Trump said in the video posted on his Truth Social site. “My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both. And whatever they decide must be the law of the land — in this case, the law of the state.”
Trump, in the video, did not say when in pregnancy he believes abortion should be banned — declining to endorse a national cutoff that would have been used as a cudgel by Democrats ahead of the November election. But his endorsement of the patchwork approach leaves him open to being attached to the strictest proposed state legislation, which President Joe Biden and his reelection campaign have already been working to do.
Ah yes, equating the termination of unborn festuses to the enslavement of grown, conscious men, women, and children. Such a reasonable argument, my good sir.
Murdering babies is a bad thing. God I hate leftists sometimes, yall are a bunch of psychopaths.
Oh, absolutely! Murdering babies certainly is a nasty business, all round.
Not sure what that has to do with unborn fetuses, but we do agree on something at least.
Unborn fetuses are babies, and you know that.
Only if you’re really fuzzy on the details.
I don’t hate them but this should disqualify their claims to being civilized or being taken seriously… just legally protect the unborn, it’s not difficult, civilization 101
it’s worse since the unborn babies are innocent and defenseless and that’s reason it should be banned all the more!
I guess I might think that too if I mistakenly believed that an embryo with no functioning organs or the capacity to feel anything was the same as actual, breathing baby, both morally and physically.
Fortunately, though, it isn’t.
