“President Trump has a nice ring to it.”

Dump Trump has even better ring to it. Sorry.

I doubt Jesus thinks much about it at all.

Jesus wants EVERYBODY to be pro-life, and certainly regarding our leaders, all the more so.

“So healthcare for everyone should remain legal because it is the law now?”

Two separate issues. One was passed by Congress and can be repealed by Congress.

The other one was decreed by the Supreme Court, and, unfortunately since 1803, Supreme Court decisions have been accepted as final law. It will take a Constitutional amendment to over rule it, and that will not happen.

It will take a powerful spiritual leader to accomplish that.

“So is this going to be his standard response every time he’s pressed for details?”

A little dramatic, don’t you think?

He just offended tens of millions of pro-abortionists with that statement, and now he has got both camps coming down on top of him.

Congratulations; you can not stand shoulder to shoulder with Hillary and condemn Trump.

The MSM has poisoned the waters on the topic of abortion to such a degree that any answer anyone can make, other than something Hillary Clinton says, will be demonized.

I searched and didn’t see this thread. Dang it.
_____________________________________________________________

Even before the interview airs, Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks issued a statement to correct Trump’s statement:

“Mr. Trump gave an accurate account of the law as it is today and made clear that it must stay that way now — until he is President. Then he will change the law through his judicial appointments and allow the states to protect the unborn. There is nothing new or different here.” 

_________________________________________________________
Dear Donald Trump:

Conservatives oppose legislating from the bench.

That is all.

It’s anyone’s guess what his position will be tomorrow. I don’t even think he knows.

Liar and loser. Trump doesn’t even know what “pro-life” means.

No, it gets worse. His spokeswoman just released a clarification. See my above post.

“Congratulations; you can not stand shoulder to shoulder with Hillary and condemn Trump.”

Not sure where you conjured up the ideation that questioning Trump’s penchant for shapeshifting on policy stances somehow equates to “standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Hillary.”

I am totally with Donald Trump. I am an avid states righter and I firmly believe that abortion and gay marriage are states rights issues. I am anti abortion and anti gay marriage but the Constitution does not address these issues so they are up to the states. Donald Trump is absolutely right about this.

what you really mean is that although trump declared strongly he was pro life, he is not a zealot that thinks it is the most important of all issues to the exclusion of all others.

His statement on the law must be obeyed, means he would likely agree with the governor of Florida on the Terry decision. That is even against the boisterous protest of some who urge making a decision contrary to the law he stood up to the protest.

No need to wait until tomorrow. His spokeswoman has already issued a statement to clarify his statement.

She says he will change the law through his judicial appointments.

“Conservatives oppose legislating from the bench.”

It’s become patently obvious that nobody in the Trump campaign, from the man on down, has any idea what conservatives stand for.

I don’t know how many times ‘New York Values’ has been posted in the thread but I’ll post it again. And, no, I don’t vote for clowns.

“”Mr. Trump gave an accurate account of the law as it is today and made clear that it must stay that way now — until he is President. ...”

This is the most absurd statement I may have ever heard.

The Republicans will once again lose the election because of the abortion issue, and as a result the country will be destroyed and there will be absolutely no chance of ever stopping or reducing abortions. The battle has been fought the wrong way. Things are going to get much worse.
