They can rig state elections just like they do national elections.

The decision is with the People of the states...Always has been...until the Supreme Court errored and let Roe v Wade slide.

Correct. He is stating the law of the land. That was the SC’s ruling in the Dobb’s decision. If he sticks with that, he will have a good argument with the electorate.

Up until the 1860’s, slavery was left up to each state to decide. That didn’t work out well either...

They want it back where it was so we can pay for it, bottom line. If you choose to kill your baby it is on you and you will be judged come that day

I’d be 100% in favor of a national abortion ban, but I also know this would require a constitutional amendment. The 14th Amendment includes the word “born” in establishing the rights of citizens.

This is a good compromise, but I truly don’t believe that any person’s life should depend upon the vote of a majority.

One thing this does is take away the democrats biggest campaign issues for this election. “Donald Trump and republicans want to ban abortion”.

Correct. A national ban on abortion or that legalizes abortion would seem to be of questionable legality. The best nationwide way to deal with abortion is a Constitutional Amendment.

This was exactly the argument used to overturn Roe v Wade.

Of course there were other variables, yet Wisconsin’s was an expensive
mayoral race where the Dems did not stint on resources.....but still lost.
<><>Democrats spent $40 per vote, 2x what the GOP spent,
<><>free-spending Dems lost which is very telling in political circles.
<><>2020 Biden spent $15 per vote there.

The iceberg lying just below the surface - abortion - seems not to have been the clincher loser Wisconsin Democrats were counting on to beat the pro-life Republican.(Zhang Fei provided details)

It is not a federal matter but a state right. Science says a human life begins at conception.

Ah, the Constitutional approach.

Something this current administration doesn’t get.

There are many grifters in the pro-life movement who never wanted Roe to end. They are being exposed.

The fact that a majority of women support killing the unorn is a failure and great stain on the American church. I would suggest to those trying to change laws..you have to change hearts first.

Trump is 100% correct.

Then you get into how the liberals don’t believe an unborn baby is a human life.

He is stating the obvious, as the court and the constitution rule. He needs to make a statement, he needs to confront the issue loud and clear and often.

The Dems have only a few issues, and honestly they are all ridiculous...abortion rights, January 6th over and over, well, I can’t think of anything else, maybe “climate change” whatever that means.
