Then they are not pro life, how can you be pro life and not think a woman who murdered her baby does not service jail ?
Its not that he’s wrong. Its that its an incredibly charged thing to say and rather silly at this point in the election cycle.
You have to pick your battles.
When you promote pro-life out one side of your mouth while promoting pro-abortion out of the other side, then you win votes from both pro-lifers and pro-abortioners.
This is regardless that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for abortion purposes.
Agreed.
I’ve posted in the past about this very issue. Abortion should be illegal because it is murder. Therefore, it should require a penalty/punishment. Trump is right.
A couple of conservative principles that deserve a hearing, are the principles that laws have to be both passable (by legislature) and enforceable (by the police powers of the state.)
A proposed law that finds aborting women guilty of homicide, is guaranteed neither passable nor enforceable.
In practical fact, pre-Roe vs Wade, prosecutions of abortionists were usually triggered by the appearance of an injured abortion client in the ER. Her testimony was usually the key to obtaining a conviction.
I don’t think any abortionist will ever be convicted -— ever -— if the woman is not seen, in law and in practice, as a co-victim rather than a perp.
