Good one.
It's a genius argument. Never heard it before.
It'll turn this whole thing around.
Be sure to keep using it.
You are in the same behavioral categories of pettiness and vindictiveness. You may or may not be a woman, but, if you are, then that would make another pea in the pod.
Hell hath no fury, I guess.
CW has every right to support the candidate of her choice.
Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the varsity swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, 4 years the toilets explode.
...election year trolls.
Agreed. I believe its in God’s hands.
I think he is sincere. He has a consistent dialog on the subject. Pro life positions are a spectrum in my view not a black and white.
Trump has moved a great deal to the Pro life side of the spectrum since 1999 and is consistently more so over time. He is not a politician and is not always up to speed on areas that have not been his primary focus but he gets up to speed quickly.
Earlier in the campaign Trump had not seen the videos. The universal meme that PP puts out is woman’s health, abortion a small part. Trump was against abortion but is committed to woman’s health. So his statements reflected his superficial understanding.
There was an instantaneous change when he saw the videos, the first step was to a position that this is terrible, horrific and this part of PP should be defunded, he still thought the majority of their business was woman’s health. The next step was his discovery that they don’t do mammos, that abortion is a big part of their profit and that many other centers exist for woman’s health. He is now on record that he will defund PP. He has not completely shed his old belief that PP did help women obtain access to healthcare other than abortion but that will come.
On abortion Trump has a similar history, moving from woman’s right to chose, such a strident and pervasive clamor that many men just back up. In 1999 he was maneuvered into a right to choose but I don’t like it statement on partial birth abortion. The statement was watershed moment for him and several months later he came out with a public statement saying that he had felt pushed into the statement and realized after that he was wrong that PBA is wrong and should be outlawed. Another watershed event followed a couple years later when a friend wanted his partner to abort, she wouldn’t and the friend loved the child so much, she was the light of his life. Trump also met the child, the thought that she could have never been born galvanized him. From that point he stated that abortion was wrong except in the very early weeks if there was rape, incest etc. Note that even those exceptions he carves out are for only the first trimester. That was in 2003-4 and his position has not reversed.
If you look at his statements without giving weight to when they were said you miss the opportunity to read the man properly. Most Americans are at the same point on the spectrum where he is now or a little to the choice side. If America shifts from the disrespect for life, wholesale torture & slaughter of the unborn and minority abortion targeting where we are now to Trump’s position it would be a glorious thing.
Your saying that over and over again doesn't make it true. When I post I use links, data about Trump that can be supported. Many of your posts are just diatribes with the expectation that anyone who doesn't agree is brain dead. Do you wonder that you get blowback? We don't all need to agree but it is not a site to just insult people that don't believe as you do.
You may research what I post and agree or disagree, say that and I will respect you in the morning. You may even say I don't want to look at other points of view my mind is made up and I will say well OK then. But say I'm an idiot and I think it reflects on you not on me.
Not talking about his own. Talking about the ones that are agreed upon as being worthless because of rape, incest or in comparison to the life of the mother who can use being stressed to end the life the baby. God’s eyes, God’s eyes.
Many Cruz supporters in the polls and on FR have said Trump is their second choice. After Tues they will default to Trump.
Wasn’t P.T. Barnum a successful capitalist business man? Maybe he would have made a better President that FDR.
