‘You do understand in doing so, would be against stare decisis in the Rowe v. Wade 1973 Supreme Court case?’
Stare Decisis is little more than a loin cloth to cover for the poor decisions of the Supreme Court in the past. Particularly Roe VS. Wade which is a particularly poorly thought out decision. The fact is thatthe Supreme c=Court, and NO fFederal Court had any reason to even hear an abortion rights case considering that the Constitution makes no reference to it OR Privacy.
There never any right toprivacy in the constitution. It is inferred, which is the worst sort of law making. The Katz case in the late sixties actualy overturned TWO previous rulings concerning the right to privacy and the expectations of privacy.
If they can over rule one they can over rule others.

Thanks for the info on the case. No expectation; I agree.

Yes, I agree.
He stumbled, but this was a DAMN good response after that. Intentionally or not, I think he called her out.
Trump don’t need no steenkin’ teleprompter.
He does, however, need to brush up a bit.
Get with me when Trump tops the AnnointedIdiot’s “above my paygrade” mention concerning abortion.... =.=
Trump has his issues but the liberal media wouldn't be beating him if he wasn't kicking Obama's butt on a daily basis.
That was actually the ridiculous argument used by SCOTUS in Roe.
The fact, based on the record of Trump’s comments, is that Trump has no consistent beliefs on abortion.
He needs a teleprompter so that he can be fed information on the basic principles of conservative ideology.
Inevitably, if he keeps up with this, Trump will be asked questions that expose his lack of philosophical thinking, and his lack of true commitment to constitutional conservatism.
You should know that Trump did stumble over the abortion question in this interview, but only from a liberal pro-abortion viewpoint.
Are you talking about Trump’s liberal pro-abortion viewpoint from a few years ago, or his liberal pro-abortion viewpoint a few weeks ago as he claimed to be “forming” a different opinion on it for political purposes?
I believe Trump’s responsive question about equating pro-life with privacy was very well made even to the implication people can have their own beliefs as to SC decisions. The members of the Court are not infallible as to matters of social conscience. Though not yet a diehard Trumpster I give him good ratings as to expression on this issue.
I believe he didn't know the court's reasoning in Roe Vs. Wade, and that his response was a puzzled and totally honest answer. And, of course it makes no senses to talk about an abortion right being related to a right to privacy. Trump's instinctive reaction was a good one.
The rest of us conservatives guess there's not, Donald. Roe v Wade was perhaps the worst judicial decision of all time.
