Abortion

Quote:

“Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body? A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.
-Melania Trump

Some are trying to figure out how her statement is supposed to help her husband. Well, it doesn't. Trump doesn't support individual choice. Period.

Wrong

Trump's position is the same as that of nearly two-thirds of Americans. He opposes a national abortion ban, favors a fifteen-week abortion ban with exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother and believes IVF should be covered by insurance and the government.

Gallup Poll Shows Most Americans Would Vote for a 15-Week Abortion Ban

Unless Melania supports a woman's right to abortion for any reason after fifteen weeks, her statement does not disagree with her husband's position.

He refused to deny that he would sign a nationwide abortion ban during his disastrous debate performance.

He also announced he will be voting to keep Florida’s 6 week ban.

You can't "leave it up to the states" which he has said is proper and claim you support individual choice. It's one or the other.

it's used to be a pretty easy decision.

Just check the box that doesn't support the killing of innocent unborn babies.

Not much thinking was required.


Since the entire political spectrum moved far left, it requires a little more study, but not much.

Heck, it would be more than amazing if Republicans ran on a platform of, "we will allow no state laws to inhibit any woman from traveling without fear of prosecution, or of prosecution of anyone to helping her get to a state where abortion is allowed."

No pigs flying over a frozen hell that Republicans would even let that much happen.

It doens't matter what Republicans *say* about abortion. It matters what they *do* about abortion. ANd, so far, they've actign swaurelt on the side of anti-choice, anti-abortion and anti-women. They've had decades to moderate their stanch on abortion and they haven't. DO not trust them on abortion. If given the chance, they will seek to impose a national abortion ban.

Trump supports banning abortion, he has been trying to minimize to effects of overturning Roe when politically convenient. He designed his SCOTUS picks for the last 10 years to be abortion banners, this is the main platform that he supports.
