Isn’t that the Kasich justification of homosexual marriage?
LOL! Upper east side liberal
“I would’ve preferred states’ rights,” he added. “I think it would’ve been better if it were up to the states. But right now, the laws are set....At this moment, the laws are set. And I think we have to leave it that way.”
Huh?
Well, I hope it’s not a picket fence he’s trying so hard to straddle.
So, Trump would appoint pro-choice justices? Abortion is murder, but that’s ok?
Trump is a buffoon. He hasn’t thought thru any position in any detail. And he’s not conservative enough to be called a RINO.
The House of Representatives have the power of the purse and to impeach justices.
In the 18 years that the Republicans have held power, what have they done about abortion?
They continued to fund Planned Parenthood
They did nothing about federal judges who usurped state laws regulating abortions
They did nothing when abortionists such as Kermit Gosnell outright killed innocent life
House Republicans have the power to defund abortion, to impeach judges, to abolish judiciaries, and to overturn Roe vs Wade.
HAVE THEY DONE IT???
This whole mess reminds me of the Komen mess. For those of you who have forgotten, in, I think 2013, Komen decided not to provide funding any more for Planned Parenthood. With joy I signed up to walk. I had quit walking when I learned that they DID fund PP. Then in a few weeks, after intense pressure from PP, Komen once again said that they would provide grants to PP. Komen sank like a stone. The MSM said it was because of their initial decision. I think it was because they backtracked.
As a Trump supporter, I’m very confused right now. If he thinks we need to leave the laws this way, I’m going to have a big problem with that. I understand he went “too far” to the right because National Right to Life and other pro-life groups pounced on him just like the left. I understand abortion isn’t an issue that he probably has thought a lot on as his focus is on the economy, security, and immigration. So therefore, I realize he had to huddle up with his advisors and try to “fix” what he said. That said, I don’t know if he has been advised to say this or if he decided to say this himself. However, he has now swung so far to the left with this statement that, unless I’m misunderstanding it or it’s out of context, it will offend his pro-life constituents. I can’t get a read on his true feelings which he voices freely on other subjects. What he should have said is that he is pro-life, was given a hypothetical, the laws are set now, but he believes they should be changed. Obviously he has indicated support for exceptions, so he could add “with those exceptions.” I disagree with the exceptions as my belief is that if it is a person, there is a Constitutional right to life, and that doesn’t change because of the horrible situation surrounding conception. He does, though, and that will go over better with voters as I know my position isn’t popular.
"Do you think abortion is murder?" Dickerson asked.Not a difficult question at all, and Trump couldn't answer it without being asked more questions.
"I have my opinions on it, but I'd rather not comment on it," Trump replied.
"You said you were very pro-life," Dickerson followed up. "Pro-life means that...abortion is murder."
"I mean, I do have my opinions on it. I just don't think it's an appropriate forum," said Trump.
"But you don't disagree with that proposition, that it's murder?" Dickerson asked.
"No, I don't disagree with it," Trump eventually replied.
So the left wing Trump has appeared.
He is losing me very quickly as second choice. He should have ran as a democrat.
Just shows what a Sodom and Gomorrah America has become. May God smack it down, hard. It's well deserved.
OK... he’s splattered himself all over the policy map on abortion.
What else is “negotiable?”
So is this going to be his standard response every time he’s pressed for details?
Its getting to the point where Trump’s stance on this issue would give even John Kerry and Mitt Romney whiplash at all the flip-flops.
For me this issue is paramount. While it appears that a full Republican government wouldn’t do anything about abortion itself, the “right” to have an abortion isn’t the only issue here. Parental consent, taking minors across state lines for abortions, partial birth abortion and more are all still issues that are far from settled.
Bunch of stealth operatives on this thread. LOL
Go Trump!
Lol. Flip flop and then hard flip to the left. Yeah Trump, the conservatives will support you with that answer, not. But wait. He has all those independents and democrats that are going to vote with him, not. Trump needs to quit talking about this issue.
Headline is false.
Donald Trump said Friday that he believes the laws regulating abortion should stay as they are, but he doesn't disagree with the proposition that abortion is murder."
Trump believes that abortion is murder, but also thinks it should remain legal.
That's a giant of a thinker right there.
Did you see this Morgana?
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.
