On the 43rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, many GOP presidential contenders were not silent. While Democrats Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton continue to defend the horrors of abortion, Republicans Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Rick Santorum, Carly Fiorina, and Ben Carson took to social media. Recognizing the tragedy of over 58 million lives lost, these candidates explained why they stand for life.
Donald Trump, however, has been silent on abortion, the March for Life, and Roe v. Wade all day. He is the only GOP front runner to avoid making a statement. Issues concerning Trump’s pro-abortion past continue to rise – including his statement that his sister would be “one of the best†justices for the U.S. Supreme Court, despite her ruling in favor of partial-birth abortion as a circuit judge.
Trump’s lack of a statement on the anniversary of Roe further illustrate the muddle he is in with pro-lifers and conservatives. His statements are viewed by some as very concerning, including his recent observation that “[W]e have to look at the positives, also, for Planned Parenthood.â€

Well hell Sun, Cruz was a huge supporter of John Roberts. Thanks for reminding me.
You do remember Obama’s favorite SCOTUS justice right?
That would be Chief Justice John “Obamacare” Roberts.
That Cruz sure knows how to pick me huh.
...pick em huh.
I guess the author of this article missed it too.
They never stop and they always eat crow.
I accept your apology.....and I ask you to accept my apology for my harsh words.
I don’t believe Trump will do what you think, or convinced yourself...
....with my whole heart I believe he will honor LIFE
Put another way......the Apostles didn’t believe Saul’s conversion to Paul....at first......
...but then they believed......and they were blessed to believe.
Do or think what you will.....
...I have faith that God is in this
...and I know He can turn the channels of a man’s heart ...
....I believe His spirit will guide Donald Trump
Many thousands are praying for him
As with Trump, we’re all being ‘changed’ on our way to full glorification
Look......I apologize again.....God is still working to change me too.
God bless you.
What is the difference between Cruz supporters and Obama supporters?
do me a favor and tell Jim I apologized lol. I just saw that you sent him a message too. I’m new and don’t want to get kicked off
Giuliani supporters were banned from FR while Trump is given a full pass......
Perhaps he was aware that his presence was likely to suck all the attention away from the topic at hand?
Because he isn’t on our side, or at lest doesn’t care enough to do anything about it.
New York values.
No, he'd pick judges like his radical, pro-abort sister, whom he says would make a GREAT Supreme Court justice (if only she weren't quite so old). I'm afraid he'll be looking for younger versions of her.
Dear new friend
I didn’t send Jim a personal message.
He will see yours....and my apologies :)
It will make him happy.
God bless you
new polls are out.
this game is over.
I will pray for Trump. 20 point lead with a month left?
no way he loses primary
i should be thrilled, i’m from nyc too.
human nature is a funny thing. you dont EVER want to consider yourself a loser or associated with a loser and when your original pick starts blowing it with dumb comments and you see it’s over, it’s hard to move on.
lying about not having health insurance was just real desperation and he’s not as classy as i thought he was.
Go Trump :)
Obama is is a little to the left of Trump. Trumpees see what they want. I used to think they ignored his past flip flops and lies. It seems now they don’t care who he is or what he pretends to stand for.
note this old tag line of mine.
He was probably too busy hanging out with his sister, the radically pro-choice activist judge that he believes is a good model for a Supreme Court Justice.
I just got home from church.....
...where did you see new poll numbers?
I hope you are faring well in NYC with all that snow!!!
just paid 150 bucks to get the walk and sidewalk and car dug out.
this was a job for 20 somethings. six foot drifts.
ah, every single poll for weeks shows him up by 15 to 25 points.
this phase of the game is over.
i’m glad. its my first primary and it’s exhausting!!!
I agree, it is exhausting!
Praying for you all in NYC and along the East coast
Thanks :)
