Republicans need to fight this at the state level. Not in the presidential race.

“It’s a State issue, period. End of discussion”.

It is, INDEED.

It’s a state issue, thanks to Trump. As we try to win the battle state by state let’s not forget to appreciate that we can now finally do that. Something Trump should remind people of every day of the primary season.

Is he on the wrong side? A consensus isn't there. There's a huge disparity between states since Roe was overturned.

Trump will return to the Mexico City policy with regard to federal funding.

I’ve never heard of any illness where a pregnant woman was saved specifically by aborting her baby.

Yes. I would be interested in seeing a simplified and fair cj system implemented nationally.

Very much agree. And every candidate should give the same answer.

Leave it to the states. It’s the right position constitutionally, morally, and politically, all of which are important.

I despise abortion.

Yet it’s probably one reason we had a red ripple on 2022. The SCOTUS for whatever reason passed their abortion ruling shortly before the election and it galvanized leftist and moderate women to vote Dem.

Might be best to be quiet on this until AFTER the election this time.

State’s right’s issue. No National ban should stand. Just like Roe v Wade was wrong a National ba is wrong.

Illogic reigns supreme. The people of each state will sound off on what they want to see in their states. Politicians will be judged state by state.
The American people clamored against Roe v Wade and elected Trump who appointed 3 SC justices. They upheld the Constitution and placed the decision back with the states.

Reflect, laws on murder, punishments for, “degrees of” are state laws.

“While murder is usually a state crime, there are certain situations in which murder can be charged at the federal level: The victim is a federal officer, agent, or judge. The victim is an elected or appointed federal government official. The killing is committed on a shi

That seems to be the point of this article and of several posters. Any cudgel in a storm, however flawed to alienate the voters from Trump.

Then you should move to another Country, one without a Constitution.

As repulsive and abhorrent abortion is, it is a matter that should be left to the states, just like other crimes (murder, etc.). That it has now been decided by the USSC that abortion (here, where the government wants ubiquitous abortions anywhere for any reason) is a ‘right.’

AFAIC, Trump did what he needed to do - get enough justices installed who rightly overturned Roe v Wade.

If you think it is merely a personal choice of the mother then it is a state issue and the feds can have their own policy, such as abortion on military bases and at the VAs, if you think it is killing a baby then it has to be stopped at all levels.

Abortion-personal preference or killing babies.

Trump supports the minimum wage for the same reason.

If people want about abortion on demand ended nationwide, there will have to be a constitutional amendment.

BUT WE NEED OUR REPUBLIC BACK FIRST.

There is only one goal right now, folks.

Restoration of our republic comes before everything else.

It is the ONLY issue.

To folks who don’t get that...

Jerk your heads out.
