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.

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.

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.

"I would've preferred states' rights," he added. "I think it would've been better if it were up to the states.

But it is up to the States if you believe the Constitution. Which is why Roe should be overturned. Not sure what laws Trump is talking about here.

Someone tell Donald it’s essentially up to the states. 43 of them ban abortion beyond viability, sometimes defined as between 20 and 24 weeks, 7 and DC allow it any time. Those laws are set. By the various states. This being one of multiple positions in the last few days, it will likely change. Whether that’s a pro life position after acknowledging nothing should be changed is up to his supporters, who are also flexible. Personally, I’m not adverse to leaving these issues to the states. Which doesn’t exempt them from moral criticism, nor from change on a state level.

I note that some of the same people on FR that told us that Arnold Schwarzenegger was a great candidate who would reform government are now telling us that Donald Trump is a great candidate who will reform government.

This is why the Abortion issue should have been left up to the states to decide and not made a national issue that ends up being a litmus test for candidates.

This issue just cannot be discussed on either side of the political spectrum with out it being emotional. Logic and rational thought is out the window and it just ends up being chaos.

Trump should just stay his original course and say he will appoint judges to overturn Roe V Wade but should also say he will try and change the law somehow and kick it back to the individual states to make a decision. Anything else is a no win deal for him or anyone else.

I really was leaning towards Trump lately but this is unacceptable.

TRUMP:””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.”

Naturally I saw this on the Kelly file tonight live, on a Friday night.

So a few days ago Trump says in an interview that there must be some punishment for women who get abortions.

A few hours later his campaign says that he means only the doctors would be prosecuted, never the women. A total 180 degrees..

Now in another interview he says we must leave the abortion laws the way they are, abortion legal.

Then a few hours later campaign says he meant that its only until he takes office.

What Trump says at any given time says nothing about what he would do.

Its how frequently he flips his position that matters, to set-off the alarm bells.,

His positions are like the wind.

Trump doesn’t know what to say. He’s faking it.

Embarrassing.

1 >> Miller: [Trump] doesn’t disagree with the proposition that abortion is murder.

2 >> Trump: I would’ve preferred states’ rights, I think it would’ve been better if it were up to the states.

3 >> Trump: The laws are set now on abortion and that’s the way they’re going to remain until they’re changed.

Not sure what the Cruz clowns are bitching about. But I suppose a clown would complain about #3.

I think that Trump is the only one who can beat Hillary. A vote for your conscience, i. e., Rafael or whichever other GOP loser is chosen, is effectively a vote for the Democrats, just as it was in the past two election cycles.

Cut off your nose to spite your face.Been there, done that.

President Reagan didn't change the Abortion Laws. In fact, he signed a Bill making Abortion Legal in CA while Governor. While the Bill had many restrictions it was still very controversial at the time.

Bush 41 didn't change the Abortion Laws.

Bush 43 tried to change the Abortion Laws and a Republican Congress passed the Partial Birth Abortion Ban. The SCOTUS upheld it and there you go. However, all it did was change how the Late Term Abortion was performed by the Abortionist. People mistakenly believe that the Ban ended Late Term Abortions. It didn't. The Baby is just dismembered inside the Uterus rather than partially outside the Birth Canal. Out of sight out of mind I guess. The only true restrictions to Abortion have been at the State level. Gestation restrictions, meticulous Inspections of Abortion Clinics and requiring Doctors to have Privileges at nearby Hospitals to name a few. There has been no outright Ban on Abortion even at the State Level, and there will never be, period.

All this Abortion debate does is give the Left a new talking point. Nothing will change no matter who is Elected President, DemoncRat or Republic. It's too bad Trump walked into the Trap the same way Romney did regarding States banning Contraception. Even Rush got eviscerated when he got involved in the free Contraceptives "slut" controversy. Republicans will never realize that they cannot get away with making one Miscalculation or Misstatement while a DemoncRat can get people killed due to their Incompetence and be under FBI Investigation for exposing Top Secret Correspondence and be a viable Candidate for POTUS.
