Trump calls six-week abortion bans ‘terrible’
MSN ^ | 09/17/2023 | Mariana Alfaro et al

Former president Donald Trump, the front-runner in the GOP presidential primary, said a state abortion law signed by his top challenger, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), which bans the procedure after six weeks, is “terrible.”

In April, DeSantis signed the controversial law, which will go into effect if the Florida Supreme Court upholds the state’s 15-week ban on abortion that he signed into law last spring. At a hearing this month, the Florida justices appeared open to upholding the limiting ban.

Trump, in an interview that aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” criticized DeSantis for being “willing to sign a five-week and six-week ban.”

“I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake,” Trump said.

DeSantis’s six-week ban — which includes exceptions for rape, incest, medical emergencies and “fatal fetal abnormalities” — would outlaw the procedure in Florida before many people know they’re pregnant.

The new host of “Meet the Press,” Kristen Welker, asked Trump if he’d sign federal legislation that would ban abortion at 15 weeks, a limit that antiabortion groups and some lawmakers have rallied behind.

Trump said no, and said he’d seek to negotiate with Democrats on the issue.

Trump declined to say what time frame he thinks is appropriate for an abortion ban and instead insisted that he would “sit down with both sides and I’d negotiate something, and we’ll end up with peace on that issue for the first time in 52 years.”

“Both sides are going to like me,” he added. “I’m going to come together with all groups, and we’re going to have something that’s acceptable.” ***

WHY DOES HE THINK HE CAN SIT DOWN WITH DEMOCRATS. That is the Trump I don’t like. They need to be obliterates, not compromised with.

He was asked in an interview. The other quote is always mangled. Trump said some people think that 6 weeks is too early. He’s correct.

President Trump put Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Barrett on the Court. It was their votes that overturned Roe v. Wade. As far as I am concerned, that means that Trump has done more than anyone to support the pro-life cause and arguments to the contrary are just distraction and chatter.

How hard did your pappy have to whoop on you to get to behave?

Because, all these years later, it still shows.

Trump did not say that and 6wk gestations are not viable.

"Correct. But the Democrats will soon take the Supreme Court and legalize it on the federal level. Unless we take charge on the issue."

Fearporn. Thomas is the only SCOTUS member in his 70s and you ain't too far shy of that yourself.

Exodus 21:

12 “Whoever hits and kills someone must be killed too. 13 But if an accident happens, and a person kills someone without planning it, then God allowed that thing to happen. I will choose some special places where people can run to for safety. So that person can run to one of those places. 14 But whoever plans to kill someone out of anger or hatred must be punished. Take them away from my altar[c] and kill them.

From Matthew, Chapter 5. I think Jesus calls on us to pray about it:

Jesus Teaches About Fighting Back
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’[i] 39 But I tell you, don’t fight back against someone who wants to do harm to you. If they hit you on the right cheek, let them hit the other cheek too. 40 If anyone wants to sue you in court and take your shirt, let them have your coat too. 41 If a soldier forces you to walk with him one mile,[j] go with him two. 42 Give to anyone who asks you for something. Don’t refuse to give to anyone who wants to borrow from you.

Love Your Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies. Pray for those who treat you badly. 45 If you do this, you will be children who are truly like your Father in heaven. He lets the sun rise for all people, whether they are good or bad. He sends rain to those who do right and to those who do wrong. 46 If you love only those who love you, why should you get a reward for that? Even the tax collectors do that. 47 And if you are nice only to your friends, you are no better than anyone else. Even the people who don’t know God are nice to their friends. 48 What I am saying is that you must be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

"But having created a national right to abortion, two generations of women came to believe they possessed that right. Men and women were glad to have abortion as a backstop for sexual freedom. Having experienced sexual freedom, people are loathe to give it up, so you need to have a good reason to take away what people perceive to be their right."

Roe was a deliberate, ungodly act by a Protestant court to bring a black genocide holocaust into creation.

While you wait for that to happen the rest of us will concentrate on moving the ball down the court.
Waiting for the left to be obliterated guarantees that they never will be.

I remember when abortion became legal in 1973. Back then we were told taxpayer money would never be used for it

Abortion, except for the case of saving the life of the mother (which is rare) is murder.

There are plenty of forms of birth control available. Don’t have sex if you aren’t willing to take responsibility for your actions.

How many of us have considered how valuable planned parenthood / abortion is to child traffickers? One evil leads to another.

We sing God Bless America while advocating murdering the unborn....right. Then we wonder why our nation is sinking.

It’s a state issue.

But that wasn't Trump's response to the question.

While we have waited to push the ball down the court, the left has marched through the institutions for 90 years. For the Republic TO survive, THEY MUST BE DESTROYED. You can not negotiate with terroristic traitors.

Alito is 73. John Roberts isn't too far behind at 68.

Remember Roberts is wobbly so he could be the fifth vote for the Liberal bloc on the SCOTUS.

Whatever time limit the Florida law set, Trump would have been against it because DeSantis signed the law.

True, that.
